sealing hoodie pockets with zippers is a great idea! I'm bringing thread and a sewing kit on the road this year.

I always had the issue that I'd get kicked down nice pull-over carhart hoodies from my mom because she did the carhart ordering for the farm store she worked for. I hate pull-overs though because I wear glasses and it's a pain in the ass. So, I'd cut zippers off of jackets, split the hoodie in the front, make it a zip hoodie and put zippers on the pockets to keep my cell, smokes, and other random crap handy and secure.

Other than food all I really carry is my sleeping bag, tarp, hoodie and my msr water purifier. All of which I'd say are my favorite piece of gear depending on where I am and what kinda day I'm having.

Mine is also my sleeping bag. It's a Eureka! Women's Casper +15degrees. It scrunches down to about a 6"x9"x6" size and is only two lbs. A good half of my travels are in the northern states and it's never let me down to be at least comfortable, if not toasty.

Gretchen, my little no name 15" machete I picked up at a yard sale a few years back. Fits in my big bag, stays fairly sharp, takes a beating without being too heavy.

Still want to get a Cold Steel one day....

yeah those p38 can openers are neat. i lost a p51 years back and all i can find are the rubbish highlander ones that rattle and bend.

currantly my favourate item is my french naval gortex foul weather jacket worn over a down filled puffer jacket, realy warm and waterproof. we have had ten days of snow here and i am still toasty.

other than that, it's my bed roll, gortex bivi,two vangos sleeping bags and a down army one, thermarest compact air mattress and mozzy net.

it's freezing here, still compared to canada it probally is half tropical.

oh yeah, and my casio tide calculation watch.

1. North Face 0 degree sleeping bag. Weighs a good bit, but keeps me ALIVE and warm.
2. SOG Navy Seal fixed-blade knife. Everything else is replaceable and/or I can deal.
