[pct-l] Micro Containers, New Trail Name & Weights

[Hiker97 at aol.com (Hiker97@aol.com)]

Monty, thanks for any micro container ideas.  I was just kidding  around 
about being bullied by the ultra lighters.  Just goofing off.   Having fun again.  
I keep wondering when the List administrator is going to  kick me off this 
List and tell me to get my own website. :-)  Just  think if I went to a new 
List, they would have no idea what was in store for  them.  All my tag lines would 
be new and recycled and SuperSecrets  too.  I would go to an AT List and act 
like I live in North Carolina and  was hiking on the AT a lot.  What a neat 
scam.  Ha, ha, ha.
 
Seriously and truthfully, going to grams and ounces with my weights and  m
icro containers has really paid big dividends.  My gear organization is  the best 
I have ever had in 40 years of backpacking.  Super light, super  organized, 
and super convenient.  Not bad to teach an old dog new  tricks.
 
Interestingly, the EXY Dose Pill Pouches (Walmart) are really turning out  to 
be very useful for lots of little things.  One bag does not even  register on 
my electronic scales.  I have no idea how much one  weighs.
 
Hopefully, someday I will be an ultra lighter like all the big boys and  
girls. :-)  If I ever do get there and do not want to use the LuxuryLite  external 
frame pack, I will get the Mariposa pack from Gossamer Gear.  The  new 
standard there is 3.77 pounds base pack weight.  Glen is spanking that  sub 5 pounds 
barrier real hard.
 
I was thinking of changing my trail name officially to "Switchback - Trail  
Geezer" I am not sure of the protocol or legality of this.  I would still  
answer to "Switchback", but any official correspondence to me would have to be  
addressed to: Switchback - Trail Geezer, Las Vegas, NV. 89129-5530.  I  wonder 
if mail would get to me?  
 
It does not get anymore fun than this, does it?  Except being out on  the 
trail.  I am so full of BS I scare myself sometimes.  
 
Your hiking buddy, Switchback
