[pct-l] Ear Plugs

[montedodge at msn.com (Monte Dodge)]

 Very light to carry and a "Duel Purpose" item.  Found out watching my beloved Raiders lose to the local team Seahawks a few years ago on a windy rainy day in Seattle. We were in the two mile high cheap peanut gallery seats and getting a full blast off the water. My thin Raider hat cap did little for my ears at the time when I remembered my ear plugs from work. ( Blowing a train whistle for 25 years brings new light on these guys value!) Bottom line is on a windy exposed ridge walk in the Goat Rocks or Sierras, these little guys work well in keeping cold air out of your ear canals. Also in town to help sleep with all the traffic near motel after weeks on the trail.  ( And yes, you make have some fat snorer type guy,,no names please, sawing logs close by!!)
