well, I guess it is good that I have a good-paying job, because I like backpacking gear…I really only have had one paycheck but it is gone…i get payed tommorrow

I bought a very nice backpack, a very good tent, cookset, paid for trips, food, and ordered books, and a rain jacket. I will get a stove and water filter…and a platypus water resevoir. I am not overly materialistic, i just want to be able to have good trips….after i have the things needed to survive in the wilderness, im done. I don’t need more weight in my pack.

I plan on perhaps taking a week-long trip to Kodiak island…very scenic…anyway…I shall write more at a later date
