My Uncle Rabbit and I went shopping today for AT gear. We went to the Appalachian Outfitters in Peninsula, Ohio. They had everything we need for our hike, but some of their prices were high so we bought some things there and decided to buy other things on-line. We bought North Face hiking pants, Smart Wool hiking socks, eating utensils, a toothbrush, and Gatorade powder packs. Later, we bought a backpack (2 lbs), sleeping bag (2 lbs), and a backpack rain cover from www.backcountygear.com. We are trying to stay under 15 pounds for all of my gear. While we were shopping today, my Uncle Rabbit suggested that I buy a 30-pound iron chair to carry for him on the trail in case he gets tired and wants to rest. What do you think?

Hmmmm. It sounds a little suspicious, but it WOULD be helpful if he could stay well-rested...
Silly Rabbit, tricks are for kids. All Joe really needs is a knife and a loinloth.
Did you notice how Baby Bear is learning how to be a good Slovenian? We are also going to work on mathematics on the trail. She has a math test the Friday after she returns from the trail. Baby Bear will learn how a good Slovenian uses mathematical formulas in his or her quest for frugality and conservation.
