[at-l] Duct Tape and Old Sleeping Pads

["Richard" <rlsaylor@ix.netcom.com>]

With the advent of high-tech pads I didn't trash my old 
closed-cell foam pads. The material is a good insulator, and I'm big 
on cold canned beverages.

A good ultra-light beverage cooler can be made out of the stuff. Make 
it large enough for six cans arranged three-by-three with a blue-ice 
thingie in the middle. It can be held together with duct tape, and is 
just the right size to fit nicely into most day packs. (I've even packed away six 
cold ones for an overnighter.) It'll keep things cold for about 10 
hours if the weather's not too hot.
