[Cdt-l] Electronics

[Jim and_or Ginny Owen]

LOL!!! 

 

I'l answer, but it's not the answer you're looking for. 

 

On my AT hike I had a flashlite and a 35mm camera.  For the first CDT hike I had a 

flashlite and a 35mm camera. For the PCT, I had a camera and a mini-flashlite. 

For the second CDT hike, I had a headlamp - and a digital camera. For the GDT, I 

carried a headlamp and a bigger digital camera.  For the AT and PCT this year, I'll 

carry a headlamp and that same "bigger" digital camera.  

 

Simpler, lighter, cheaper and all that's even conceivably "necessary".  :)

 

YMMV

 

Walk softly,

Jim
