Craig,

Your journal / web site is in another league all together.  You have friken
icons to indicate when you cowboy camped and when you used a tent!
Clickable maps, etc.   I bet if I looked around your site long enough I
could find your urine output by day / by state / avg and TTD (trail to
date).

That gorrilapod doesn't look like it would grip the pole well enough to keep
the camera upright, wouldn't it just slid around and leave you with the
camera upside down?


I reckon it would also be good for video yourself when walking. Squatch: you
could interview on the move then and make it seem like you have a film crew
with you.

conversion of whatever trekking pole I choose to use. But thats just me, I'm
more interested in landscapes then taking my own pic. Besides I'm afraid of
breaking the glass lens if I point the camera at self. I'm going to try
carrying a gorillapod, you can wrap it around your pole and do the same
thing or use a branch, rock, table, etc to set up camera. Ok you got me beat
on weight by an order of magnitude but I think its much more usefull.
