trail testing

i don't know about the rest of you but i have been getting soaked out there. This is our opportunity to test our gear!

We only have a couple of months left, i am so excited. Greg, Mike, and I went to the Prep for Rainier Seminar and they suggested that we should be climbing Mt Si a couple of times a week. I've been hard at it, and it has let me tweek and tune some gear.

One of my most valueable lessons was on lacing my boots. Check out www.youtube.com for some vids from backpacker magazine; they have a ton of tips for all type of gear sizing and adjustments. good stuff!
