[Bob Bankhead]

Sounds like a severe case of cabin fever. Been into the holiday cheer a little early this year have we, Amanda?

  Hay, did you guy hear about this guy?

  Shepherd

  Rudolf the Ultra-lite Backpacker

  Rudolf the ultra-lite backpacker
  Only used equipment that was ultra-light
  And if you ever saw him
  You would say he packs just right!

  All of the other backpackers 
  used to say he was insane.
  They all worried that poor Rudolf 
  wasn’t prepared for cold, snow or rain!

  Then one blistery Sierra-Nevada day
  He learned about the PCT-L and the PCTA.
  Now Rudolf is not only packing light,
  He’s cowboy camping or using a poncho-tarp at night

  With alcohol stove and foam-core sleep pad
  Rudolf hikes the trail with glee
  He isn’t even much bothered by his bear canister
  That he hauls along through Yosemite.
