Opportunity knocks!!
As Datto enters the 100 mile, he'll be needing supplies- lets all do our part 
to make sure he gets what he needs!
Hints-
   Fruit cake- very sturdy, can be used as firewood in a pinch, and you can 
tell auntie      Eunice that 'yes, I made good use of your holiday present.' 
   A two bladed woodsman's axe, 13 inch nails, and a nine pound sledge 
hammer- I hear shelter is very important. Probably should go with hickory 
wood handles to save weight
   Keg or two of black powder- to ease boredom
   Sugar, flour, and hard tack- I don't know why, but these seemed popular in 
the good ol' days of yore. Seems 'hogshead' was the standard amount
   Batteries-four or five Sears Die-hards will probably get Datto through to 
Jo-Mary Lake where he can re-charge
   Canned beans. And a case of bean-o or earplugs, which ever weighs less
   Flare-gun, with starburst and whistle shells- you can never be too careful
Let's not divide up the items in an organized manner, best we leave it up 
chance, in the good ol' AT tradition
  Other than a mule, I can't think of much else...
   .... oh yeah, don't let Datto know what were up, K?
