[pct-l] Forget your Tweezers!!!

[eyakel at earthlink.net (Eric Yakel)]

Big Five sporting goods has a neat little plastic tick remover tool.  It is
very small and light and has about four tweezer (ends?) built into it.  It
grabs them completely and pulls them out with no fuss.  Don't forget to use
an antibiotic ointment after removal.  It should stop the infection that you
almost surely will get without it.

A must for all thru-hikers!!! Don't forget your tweezers! Ticks are always a
problem in the spring for hikers on the PCT. Tweezers weigh little ,but are
helpful for tick removing. ( Easy to over look)
  Wine box bladders make good extra water containers, and air pillows at
night.
