Read more about this picture at Nilesh's Posterous I chanched a look at myself in an elevator mirror this past week and this is how I have been travelling for these past few months.. one big 75L backpack on my back and another smaller backpack with my documents and laptop etc.. in front (I guess that's not a "back"pack anymore.. more of a belly pack ...

The "Women Backpacking Together" Meetup met at the Caribou Lake Trailhead in the Caribou Wilderness in the middle of the night... around midnight. Lorrie and I were there around 7:30pm so after we put up our tent and built a fire, we warded off the bears by making a lot of noise. Four plus hours! We were up around 9am and out on the trail around 11am. Got to our camp at North Divide Lake around 3:30pm and set in for a cold night. Snow all around but we found a nice meadow to camp in.

This is my new backpack.. and apparently I missed a belt loop that day.

backpack is coming to perfection. On-off switch has a designated place. there is even a lid to cover everything giving the pack some elasticity when falling on its back. added bluetooth board for the RCB4. uses Parani bluetooth module (originally used with RoboBuilder, had to be reconfigured for even parity..)

Backpacking Thailand - Dec 2007

Experimenting with the blackfly using iso alcohol vs the methonal or purer stuff. Not quite as hot but provides an alternate fuel and is great for long simmers like baking.

Usually use heat - auto fuel line stuff or denatured alcohol from the paint area, both at any Wal-mart
