I just make sure that the zipper is in the same place everytime. That way there's no guesswork to it. Same thing I do with my wallet, keys, knife and phone

Ding! ding! ding! - 'Cause in my case, I would be fishing for my eyeglasses first! lol On my luggage, backpacks, tents - I always center them so that they are in the same place every time.

Last weekend we were in bear country and it was below freezing at night so I just left it unzipped after the first two struggles with it.

On another note Roger has been freaking me out about using aluminum based products for my cook gear so I switched it all over to titanium this week. Did a mix of American made stuff from Vargo and some Japanese stuff from Snow Peak. I wasn't about to mess with any China crap because I'd prob be safer with aluminum. So far liking the titanium. The polish uncoated metal is pretty much non-stick and safe forever no mater how hard I abuse it and it doesn't matter what I put in it (unlike tomatoes based products in aluminum pots that leach toxins).

Hey, I wasn't trying to freak you out. I was just saying 'some people' think there is a connection between it and Alzheimer's.

Have you seen the movie Backcountry? You will forget about what I said about aluminum. :)

I know it's bad for you, just needed a little push to stop killing my brain cells slowly from preparing food ~ rather kill them fun ways.

Every time I washed the aluminum pots and cups my sponge would go from light yellow to dark grey color....not to mention drinking and eating out of a cut up Fosters can that would always burn my lips was getting old.

I read this morning that Mormons can tell one another by their complexion since they abstain from alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, coffee and tea.

I know everyone bashes them but I find it fun to honk my horn and wave at the guys on their mission. Anytime I see them up close I shake their hand and thank them for what they do. How many of us at that age would dedicate that amount of time to try to help someone from our heart? Not many. :( Some cool stuff regardless of your beliefs unless you think that they are spreading evil. I don't - but then again, most of you probably know I am evil. :)

Something tells me this will not influence you nearly as much as my message about aluminum. :)

No thanks. The coyotes howling in the back ground as I read scary Jersey Devil stories solo in the woods are enough for me. Was never much of a horror fan after Nightmare on Elm Street scarred me for life

The more people I see killed in the name of someones magic man in the sky the more I hate every organized religion.

BTW. The trailer makes me want to by a 454 Casull... At least I can blow my own head off with it if a grizzly is stalking me.

Just make sure it's in your holster, not your wive's!!!


Edit: After you watch it you will know what I mean. :)
