Raw Notes From The Field
- conditions-43 degrees and falling, windy, lots more rain, night hike
- wore-danner striker merino wool mid weight socks, under armour boxer briefs, rei power stretch half zip top, sitka gear ascent pants, wilderness instructor belt, russell outdoors apx g2 L5 cyclone jacket, hanz gloves, flex fit cap, merrell outbound mid leather gore tex boots, black diamond trekking pole
- boots look nice, well made, mid weight, interior collar seam rubs after 1/2 mile or so, would be a problem, good toe box room/mid to high volume but short, some toe bang, forefoot lacks a finished refined padded feel, did not leak
- idea-modern last of the mohicans/messenger type shoulder bag for a hunter, off the back but not on the hips or around the waist, could cross with two
- most people lose their minds when they end up unexpectedly in the dark in the boonies, had to walk an amateur photog back to the trail head, i think he might have actually been crying
- polartec power stretch fabric is awesome stuff, warm, wicks really well and dries in a flash
- like the socks, good density through out, good medium thickness, wish they were over the calf
- jacket was waterproof, no leaks, cold and windy enough that active ventilation was enough for this hike
- new motorola droid phone is impressive, all the bells and whistles are actually usable but i seem to butt call people more than i used to, must be the touch screen, weather bug application has a great real time radar satellite map that is completely zoomable
- ascent pants really need some sort of closure on the thigh cargo pockets, even the weight of a petzl e+lite, bandanna, light gloves pulls them down to creates a gap that could cause user to lose something important
- that bernard chick on the canadian olympic curling team was kind of hot, very intense
- so what is up with autotrader magazine, what am i supposed to read in the bathroom now
- check go daddy to see if karl hungus dot com is available
