Gosh, Colin Fletcher's book was the first backpacking book
I ever read. That was a LONG time ago! Maybe I should read it
again.

I've never used a book for tinder (too many flashbacks of
Fahrenheit 541). But I have used book pages for, uh,
other things. :-)

My original plan was no electronics. But I am taking
a small digital camera (many people have asked for
stories about the hike, and they are boring without pictures)
and I have been hounded into carrying a cell phone, which
seems like carrying an extra brick to me. I don't plan on
calling anyone! (Although marital harmony may require
something. Hiking is easier when you are a single person.)
I pretty much plan to be off the grid (and good riddance
to it!) for at least a month.
Cheers,
David
