[pct-l] Digital photo management on the trail

[Steel-Eye]

Good Ron & Julie,

I carry three one-gig cards, and three rechargeable batteries for my little 
camera.  At a resupply stop I mail home the full card(s) and the flat 
battery(s) and receive fresh ones in my box.  I don't like to use larger 
cards because I prefer not to devote too many images on one card in the 
event something comes up missing.  The cards and the bats are then returned 
to me in another resupply box.

It seems to work for me.
