Twelve pounds for a bivvy sack/air mattress combo?
Hikers then were made of sterner stuff.

“Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets..Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we’re small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.”
Certainly one of the greats, right up there with “My dog has no nose.”

Is that a real poncho — I mean, is that a Mexican poncho?
Or is that a Sears poncho?
