Yesterday, I bought a tripod for my iPhone.  Don’t worry, it’s small and light.  And, it should help me get more pictures from the trail.

 

I’m done buying stuff, well almost.  After talking with a good friend I became convinced it would be worth it to get a lighter “bucket”.  This one weighs a third of the old one; I saved almost 2 ounces (57 grams).  I wouldn’t go backpacking without one of these, they save a ton of trips to get water.

Todays featured equipment: first aid kit.

The kit includes: A sil-nylon bag, safety pins, duct tape, Chap Stick, nail clipper, Breathe-rite strips, Dermabond, assorted Band-Aids / butterflies, and moleskin.  Meds include daily prescription meds in individual packets; supplies of Tylenol, Naprosyn, Immodium-AD, Benadryl, and extra thyroid hormone (if I get separated from my bounce box).  Everything fits in the bag except the duct tape and Rx meds.
