Thanks!

Thanks, Matt.

The best info always comes from experience.

I've often wondered how many of the individuals on this board could carry, comfortably and for a distance, the gear listed in their woods bags or bobs. I tend to throw in everything I can fit, and then start parsing it down to a weight that is realistic. (Which means 1/2 my toy, ahem, gear stays home.)

Regarding the Miox, did you prefilter? Any issues regarding function and/or taste? I've run across a number of complaints posted on various boards regarding functionality. Personally, although boiling and chemical tx will render water potable, I prefer a filter rather than drinking water that tastes like beaver a$$.

I always carry a small tube of McNett Seam Grip. I have been able to use it to make several successful boot repairs for others as well as myself.

The problem is it takes awhile to cure, so any repairs need to be made soon after camp is setup to allow time to dry.
