The tape is in the top pocket for First aid: similar to using clingfilm when immobilising parts of the body. A roll rolls easier <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> As for the toilet paper my mate just gave it to me: I tend to pack Kleenex's for men tissues <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

It looks like where I am, but prettier. I'm jealous.

And I've had the same observation of prepackaged noodles regaurdless of who makes them, re the salt. In the US, there are packages of flavored mash potatoes. I find those a little more platable, and a lot faster to cook.

Yes, this is lovely landscape.

As for the noodles, isn't the flavoring in a packet separate from the noodles? If it is, you can self meter to taste. If not, then I too would be looking for an alternative.

I dunno. In a lot of ways I think Ramen noodles are like an ultimate backpack food. They are cheap, easy, and usually quite satisfying on the trail. There's been more'n a few times I've made up a pot, with a dollup of pemmican mixed in for body and depth. A right proper way to do up a quick 700 calorie meal.

BTW, if you replace that wire saw a hand chain saw (like the sabre), you'd have been through that log in about 2 minutes of easy cutting. I keep mine in a container that's a little smaller than an Altoids tin (about like a shoe polish tin). Sure is handy at buckin' and buzzin' firewood and camp poles.

How's the rabbit population out in that area?

The pasta is salty, the noodles come unflav but can powder is packed: add to taste.
PC2K Yes fungi is the best one! But I was nearly sick in the night after eating tomato...
rabbits are plentyful in the area of very first set of pics.
No complaints about the saw though: was it a real surival situation I would burn the log through... rationing energy and water.
