so what if you feed them some aspirin?  I've never tried that.  How's that work?

  The only way that I got the Old Orchard rat to leave me alone was to share supper with him. He got full, went to sleep, didn't bother me any more.

  That was about 3 years ago right around now. October in SW VA is MAGIC!

    oh man! a shelter on a stormy, dark night, with rain pouring and being really tired

    ya! love shelters except when I haven't hiked in a long, long time . . . .

    somebody said to me we eat about 8 spiders in a lifetime during our sleep . . .  



    when I heard that I wondered how many mice do we eat in a lifetime?

    Clyde, you got a 32 for that mouse? or do I have to swat it with my titanium mug?

      I thought I wouldn't like shelters either.  

      Boy, did that change quickly!  I loved the ease of just exploding the pack 

      in the shelter.  It only took minute(s) to get your bed set up, so if you 

      were cold or just worn out, you could get in your bag quickly.  The mice 

      weren't too much of a bother, and sometimes were quite entertaining!  See 

      what you prefer.  You might THINK you won't like shelters, but be open to 

      change.  About lots of things during your hike.  Not just 

      shelter/tent.  







      I prefer bottles.  Cheaper.  Readily 

      available.  Make sure your water and fuel bottles aren't alike.  If 

      so, mark one or the other so you don't make a bad mistake!







      Happy learning and happy hiking!  And, keep 

      asking.  This is fun!

              I will look into a tent, a very lite one.  I have read many a 

                      trail log that is nagative about shelter sleeping and had planned 

                      to avoid it as much as possible.  


                       



                      
              About water, any opinions regarding bottles vs 

                  bladder?
