Re: [at-l] Hiking fog-blind

   I've used an old SCUBA diving method... Spit on the lenses, rub around
(smooth out the lumps), wipe clear with your bandana... Not the neatest, and
sometimes not the clearest, but better to be able to see the trees for the
forest.!!!  (there's a commercial brand of "stuff" called "CAT CRAP" that's
supposed to work, never tried it)...


  Stay warm,,,
