Great article from Mike Clelland
Posted: Sun 21 Jul, 2013 5:43 pmI was reading through some of Mike Clelland's old articles on BPL last night and stumbled across this gem: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin ... y_tip.html
I really enjoyed how he doesn't try to hide the quirkier, obsessive aspects of his UL-ing. Is it logical or necessary to cut a 0.1 gram piece of plastic off your bottle? Of course not. But if doing it makes you happy then why not? That's what recreation is all about isn't it?
In fact most of his articles are pure gold. This one about not taking TP into the wilderness is hilarious, but member access only: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin ... _free.html
