[pct-l] Which Book to Read ??

[Tortoise]

Recall, the AA Mallory flashlight. I had one I bought from Bob Shepard's 
Sierra Equipment on Polk St in Sf in the early 70's. Bob had drilled a pair 
of holes in the case and threaded a short piece of parachute cord to make a 
wrist band. Good piece of gear for that day. I remember that each morning I 
opened it and reversed one battery so the batteries wouldn't run down if 
accidentally switched one; then of course correcting them in the evening. 
Good gear but a lot heavier than what we use today.

Really I cannot express just how useful this manifesto is.  Plus it includes well over 300 amazing color photographs.
