I'm getting ready for vacation and I'm getting my gear together. Don't want to forget anything.

where are you going

Tent. My survival tent is 9 years old. Needs to be retired. Its been to 35 national parks and up 3 14,000 foot mountains, and has 30,000 miles on it. Must get a new tent today and get it seam sealed and scotchguarded.

...august. 30 days paid vacation on motorcycle. Sturgis black hills rally, bighorn mountains, yellowstone, and glacier NP. Tentatively. Everyones calling me and throwing ideas at me.

Maglight.

oh wow...sounds like big fun...I hope you have a great time..

Maglight. Check. Thanks. I checked it and put in new duracells in it.

I'd recommend bringing a very hot woman. Or atleast a t-shirt that says "If you can read this I need a new B!tch".

...thank you. As everyone else, I've had a disasterous year physically, emotionally, and economically. And I feel I deserve this vacation adventure.

Clean undies.
Soap to wash undies........30 days is a long time.


p.s. You DO deserve it.....have fun.

...ummmmmm uh, let's hold off on the hot woman. She doesn't carry well in my saddle bags.

I hear ya..

.....clean undies and soap. Check. I intend to have, as in past adventures, all new clothing to go on this adventure. I pack light and am prepared for all conditions. 3 new pairs of jeans, 3 shirts- long sleeve, short sleeve, and a couple wife beaters just in case one of my freinds wives get out of hand. Arctic wool socks, 2 pair of new lightweight socks, lycra bicycle shorts, boogie board shorts. Full leathers, both pants and jacket. Cabellas slasher rainsuit. Extra packable rainjacket. Dickie clavica. Arctic gloves. Thermal gloves. Jelly palm fingerless riding gloves. Almost forgot. New slime green goretex longjohns. Don't want coldbutt. Or kneecaps.

YOUR SUIT FOR THE NUDIST RESORT........

This is an odd question, but what kind of jeans does a man like you buy?

...always packed and ready. And no, I'm not giving out GPS coordinates to the resort. Too many people google earthed us last year and sent us naked pictures of us from satellite. It was funny, but not this year. Sorry.

I dont know how big your saddle bags are, but maybe a small zip bag with bandaids and the like. And dont forget the sun block.

A roll of TP is always nice too.

Get a spare lighter.

This is an odd question, but what kind of jeans does a man like you buy?
....I'm undecided yet for this adventure. I wear em all. For purpose and not fashion. No skin tight 29 inch wranglers. 500 mile day on a bike in those and your wiener is bologna. And climbing mountains is impossible. I have to be ready for all things at all times on my adventures from snow and ice to 141 degree dry heat. So my choices are levis 505s and 517s boot cut 2 sizes large to get over gore tex long johns and riding and climbing boots. I have armored kevlar dragging jeans. And I have beane thermal arctic jeans with liners and clips for carabiners for climbing and repeling. I'm still deciding which to bring. Size 32/32.
