Re: Here's the dirt on me
Steve,
I also found the address at rec.backpacking. I am really
interested in the gear of thru-hikers. I have almost everything that i
THINK i need but am looking for hints from those who have done it. Also
does anyone have a comment or two about the EMS 7000 pack. I am looking
at one for my next bag, it seems to be tough enough and big enough for a
thru-hike. Any suggestions (or warnings as the case may be) would be
appreciated greatly.
thank you again,
JOhn....
