I hear ya Art. In my hardcore backpacking days I had 1 pot and a bandana or two. But I guess I've gotten soft (or lazy) over the years and find the paper stuff invaluable for certain tasks. As far as the Roman swabium goes, I'll cross that bridge when I get there (which is hopefully never). I know, I know, spoken like a spoiled westerner. Guilty as charged. grin
