[pct-l] SuperSecrets of the Trail

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

As you know I always put the weight of an item on it with a permanent  
marker, so I can evaluate it on the trail.  Is it worth it?  For  example, all my 
items in ZipLock bags are marked this way.
 
Now I also mark the expiration date of food items.  It is easy to  loose 
track of food item freshness, especially if you do not use the whole  package on a 
particular hike.  For example, I noticed that MaryJane Farms  now has a "best 
if used by this date" on the back of their meal  pouches.  I simply mark this 
date in large letters on the front of the  pouch.  Simple.
 
This and many more cool ideas at the April Kickoff Pirate's Lair  SuperSecret 
seminar.  Come by and pet Stinky the Lair skunk.  The  Pirate's Lair is a 
long time supporter of the Kickoff philosophy ---  of, for, and by hikers.
 
Cheers, Switchback
