John,

Good deal with the knives etc.

IIRC, I didn't express reservations about sunblock - poor choice of words if that's what I wrote. What I mean is that I don't regard it as very important here (this from a guy who has had the inside of his nostrils sunburned from snowfield reflections...). The bug juice is more important to me. The majority of the boys get brown as a nut each spring while I'm still blinding pilots with the reflection off my legs. Sunblock is extremely important to some people, of course, and it's probably a smart thing for all of us to use. I just don't make a fuss about it if it's not in the pack.

YiS,

Tom
