Re: [at-l] Hellooooo!

The Dr. Bronner's is great reading, but maybe not such a good choice. 
Currell and other alcohol based cleansers work very well, and don't leave 
soap and fragrances in the water. Carry a 1-2 ounce sample size and keep a 
larger one in the bounce box.

There are many great Swiss army knives and other tools. I like the 
Leatherman Micra as a compromise on size, weight and utility. I've ground 
the Phillips screw head with a Dremel to let it repair my Photon II light. 
The scissors are good and sharp, although sometimes I wish it had the 
pliers of larger sizes. The tweezers are good for pulling at ticks and 
splinters.

I'm leery of non-metallic spoons. I'd hate to break or melt one while 
cooking. They have pretty light ones at the Waffle House in 
Gainesville.  They often have half rolls of TP ready for travel. ;-)

BTW, a watch can be very important on the trail. If you are injured or run 
into an emergency, it is very helpful to know generally when whatever 
happened, and how much time has elapsed. You could always hide the watch in 
your first aid kit. Put it right next to the paper and pencil.
