ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!  I think I'd like the view of the inside of that silnylon
shower stall...thank you very much!  I'd be afraid I'd skeer the wildlife to
death (and you!).  LOL

Hat?!  I don't wear hats.  LOL

Anyhoo...I bet there's lots of uses for such a piece of equipment as a
silnylon tarp...and it weighs only a couple ounces.  I think it would come
in handy.  Take for instance if you had broken both of your legs (God
forbid) while hiking with me.  I could use it to make a travois to carry you
out of the mountains on.  Or even use it as a sling to haul your hiney back
up that cliff Hot Dog pushed you over.  (LOL)  or as a flag for the rescue
helicopter...or to hide the bodies of people who complain about off topic
stuff (LOL!!!---just kidding!)
