Well, this can also work. Toothbrushes with cut handles can still clean your teeth. Yep, you can still pack light and do your oral hygiene with your 'trimmed' tooth brush. :)Trinidad Philippshttp://www.infectioncontrolproducts.com/category/262/green-dental-supply-companies.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044523013230692041.post-78585884135843294442012-02-10T18:55:35.082-05:002012-02-10T18:55:35.082-05:00Oh, I thought you were going to cut your toothbrus...Oh, I thought you were going to cut your toothbrush out. How's hiking now? It's pretty exciting to see people having fun with this kind of adenture. I'd like to try that one as well!Sean Butcherhttp://murrellsinletdentist.com/meet-dentists-myrtle-beach-murrells-inlet-sc.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044523013230692041.post-11593917963472766962010-09-05T13:18:15.993-04:002010-09-05T13:18:15.993-04:00Saloma,

Raccoons in the night, what a quintessential camping experience! On the AT many shelters have "bear boxes" for storing food (which as a side benefit keeps out the raccoons too).anniemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762867807246831445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044523013230692041.post-5747801632608983512010-08-29T22:28:58.122-04:002010-08-29T22:28:58.122-04:00Is cutting a handle off a toothbrush to lessen the...Is cutting a handle off a toothbrush to lessen the weight of a pack sort of what they mean when they say "splitting hairs"? <br /><br />Wow, you slept soundly... I thought the garbage can lids was going to be a story similar to the one my sister and I experienced when we were hiking Mt. Mansfield... racoons came in the middle of the night and dragged our food, which was on a sheet of plastic, under a big bowl, with a weight on top, across the lean-to floor, till it fell onto the floor outside. It made quite a racket! Glad you slept through the thunder....<br /><br />Can't wait for Part 3!<br /><br />Best,<br />SalomaSaloma Miller Furlonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269289644573402840noreply@blogger.com
