The other guy

Three weeks ago I spend a morning hanging out with Aaron Sorensen. I've mentioned him before in this post. He made most of his gear and we spent a couple hours geeking out discussing various backpacking gear nuances. In fact, he ended up making a pair of pants for me (AS specials from the last post). I hadn't been able to find ones that I like and some of the material he had was exactly what I was looking for in breathability. A pair of shoes which weren't working for him may become my sneakers of choice and he also had a flashlight which I was thinking of using. After seeing his light I ordered a very similar one. LED lights can clearly do some amazing things.

Looks like I will make an attempt the week of July 22 ish.
