I love that Heiny commercial, even though the guys gay it up a bit too much for my likeing.
I'll check out that GC recommendation. We do like to backpack off the beaten path. I stopped using tents a long time ago. Pretty much been using two tarps for about a decade now. Yep even in a hard driving rain and the middle of winter. If its properly set-up, I stay dryer and warmer in my tarp than most do in a tent. We backpacked 50 miles in the UP couple years ago. That's when I turned my buddy onto ultra light backpacking. I can go for a whole week with less than a 35 pound pack, and that includes a weeks worth of food. Not talking dehydrated crap either, steak and eggs, muffins, biscuits, etc. Yea I figured out how to bake on the trial. :mrgreen: Even made brownies once too, they were a little gooey, however every last drop got eaten.
I have numerous side jobs that bring in extra income, which I use for my stuff, and every once in a while I'll give her some of it. Like tonight I just got back from DJing at a mental health facility, Ill give the money to her for her trip to Chicago. Then the wedding Ill DJ in early Sept will go towards my fishing trip. :mrgreen: Plsu I started my own little business that brings in about $400 a month, currently that mostly goes towards, um business expenses, yea that's it, business expenses.
