    It’s so funny to me how some people can say these are boring. I’m a tent and car camper and backpacking is not my thing. But I love seeing how it all works and the different ways it can be done. All of it is interesting to me. I guess the point is. To each his own. But I think it’s crazy to come on here to post negative things about something that absolutely doesn’t affect you 😂 you go girl!

I do my own thing while checking life boxes off. Nothing against those red line people at all but I like seeing people just do themselves. Especially don’t listen to the haters.

    I always carry a roll of duct tape to put on itchy bug bites. Put a piece of tape over the bite and the pressure of the tape on the skin spreads the feel of the itch to a wider area and sometimes it goes away completely. This really works, I swear by it. The stickier the tape the better.

    I think the deer flies are the ones that bite. You guys should be using teamwork, like taking your pack off and handing it to your partner on the other side of the hanging trees etc. Also, you should play rock, paper, scissors to see who gets carried across a creek to keep their feet dry. Watch out for snakes as it gets hot and you get further south. Check you sleeping bags etc.
