Willy:

Look under Makers and you'll see a section called Shop Talk. Post your question there.

maybe if willy m would turn on his emails we could actually help him, cause I don't know if he even knows how to get back here.

I know it took me about a week or so to get acquainted with everything, and I am still learning stuff.

Getting off track, I know, Great list by the way, and I bought a new buttpack from wally world in the hunting section. The thing has tons of pockets and a very comfortable belt. I'm going to stick my own nalgene bottle in place of the cheap one that came with it. I'll try to replicate this list and see how I 'survive.'
