[pct-l] Music on the trail

[scourtway at bpa-arch.com (Steve Courtway)]

the swede who rode his bike from scandinavia to Everest and climbed it with
no oxygen and with only the food he brought with him (almost, he finally
summited on a 2nd attempt after finally breaking down and yogi'ing some food
from another base camp) carried a walkman with him, but only used it in the
crux of a dangerous situation to calm him down when the going was getting
real tough.  No matter how wonderful the vistas or sweet the sounds, a
humanoid used to civilization will eventually long for and appreciate the
familiar sounds a radio can provide.

Speaking of Tom Reynolds, if you're camped near him with a radio that is
audible, beware, your shoes may turn up missing.
