Pedro's E-bag

Be prepared, no matter what


Hello, Pedro, My troop went on a backpacking trip to Panther Town Valley (no panthers, though) and set up camp on a sunny day. The next morning it was 9 degrees and snowing. I couldn’t believe the temperature dropped 62 degrees overnight. The moral of the story is be prepared, no matter what. And I was glad I was prepared.

What a bone-chilling tale, Ben. Glad to hear you could handle the icy conditions. Brrrr.
