I've thought about it and I've decided that it is my RIGHT to pack heat, just as much as anyone else's. I still think a gun is useless, so my team and I will be packing these -

With at least five of those on the team we should be able to cut our way through the night. Sometimes you got to do it just because you FEEL LIKE IT.

And, no more iPod and headphones! Screw that. It's my RIGHT to listen to music on the trail so we are looking into a system that allows each member of the team to carry a speaker and we can listen to our music wirelessly. If you know of a semi portable stereo system that uses wireless speakers - please LMK. Louder is BETTER.

Outpost Camp and Trail Camp should expect to hear the Warrior Song (http://www.thewarriorsong.com/) as we pass through.

It's my RIGHT to pack the brightest flashlights known to man and I refuse to give up that right (unless someone here asks me not too).

At least a 20 million candlepower flashlight would be useful - what bear or cat is gonna go after us when that is shined in their eyes? What human? No more stove either - we can roast hotdogs on it!

The future is soooooo bright, I gotta wear shades.................................................DUG
