	I guess I would be a major disappointment to you, then. I'm usually a
babbling idiot, cell phone or no, and I use lots of things as a crutch
in the backcountry - stoves and synthetic fibers and self-inflating pads
and flashlights and water filters and tents and so on and so forth. Lots
of things that remove me a step or two (or more) from experiencing
/everything/ the wilds have to offer.

	Um, because most all music is a product of civilization? A pretty cool
product, but one just the same.

	Glad to hear it. I guess i've been misunderstanding your position up to
now.
