[u][/u]I have to admit that i do wear cotton too, usually partnered with wool and fleece. It's comfortable and can be pretty tough. I carry wool or fleece as back-up. I'm no techy. I meant no disrespect. I have noticed though, that I do measure my teachers by such things. (see the cruise thread)

There's a pbs video about a guy named Dick Prenoke, called Alone in the Wilderness. He made a good go of it in Alaska and he wore blue jeans that's a good recommendation in my book.

Forgive me. It's winter here in Canada so my lens is frozen. :-)
