TomT -

I find it interesting you should mention "quilts" as I have, in recent days, explored this particular website:   (You need to Login or Register .  It just might be worth exploring the next time I feel flush with cash!

Re: BWJ's Collective Wisdom column... sometimes I think Stu keeps me around by way of "comic relief" as sharp contrast to the more serious trippers who REALLY know what they're doing!

I think you'll find this column in the upcoming Spring issue to be especially interesting.  Here's a hint.  Stu should enlist PineKnot as "Special Guest Contributor" due to his renown acumen with this camp skill.  He would be PERFECT for this piece!  In fact, I doubt there is any way for me to finish writing my contribution to the topic without at least mentioning one of the gods among us....

Big snow this weekend.  That means I'll be burying myself in things related to canoeing!!!
