Alicia, I'd be willing to bet that you gained a lot of your knowledge the same way I did - shivering in a tent wet and cold or packing out hungry after a disaster or two befell your food supply (in my case it was failure to use a bear bag). That's a hard way to gain knowledge, but a sure fire way to ensure that the lessons stick with ya!

Funny thing, from my involvement in Scouts I know that it's darned near impossible to impart knowledge like that to most folks, they just need to learn for themselves!

If we're going down the boot path, Danner Mountain Lites (and ML2's) are my boot of choice. I'm not a trekking pole convert - but given the way my knees felt after a rather long New Years day day hike - well - I might be almost ready to give them a shot - but still no carbide tips for me!

Steve
