If I have my history correct, I believe that was BF (before Felix).  Nowadays I'm not so sure that is a wise idea...

I'm hoping you have time before all of you leave for the RUCK to provide a little insight for me. The problem is, after a couple years on this list and a much shorter time on the other list, I'm still not clear about what to wear. I've read the discussions about polypro vs coolmax, I know cotton kills, I learned that one pound of boot = 7 pounds of pack weight, I now know more than I ever wanted to learn about esoteric items such as pit zips, alternate uses for zip locks, and bear bags. But I still don't know what to wear, or more importantly, why I want to wear exactly that....

Well, you could take a tip from someone who successfully completed the trail 3 times and wear a cotton dress and keds. ;)
