Ready to go...Backpacking that is...


...we are all packed and ready to go...that's my pack to the left and Scout's to the right...mine weighs about 20 lbs and Scout's a little bit more...we've split a 4 person tent between us...he has the tent proper...and I have the rainfly and all of the poles and stakes...

...if I get a minute later today...I'll come back and post about the super light stretchy and strong ties that I make to tie things onto the backpack...

...I did take a picture of these super easy to make chains of 3 strands of acrylic yarn...the VERY BEST backpacking tie-down straps ever...they are slightly stretchy...they grip well...and they don't come untied...but are easily untied when you want them to be...they're PERFECT for the job...Oh...and they're super light too...if you're a backpacker you definitely need some of these...


Have a great day!
