I just got this in the mail today it is a Panasonic Lumix FS20K 10.1MP Camera. It was $300 and came with a 2GB card, camera case, and a 2 year accidental damage warranty.

Hiking up the stairs.

I got this compression bag from REI.com. It was $15. My sleeping bag is smushed in it.

Here is the sleeping bag which I purchased for back packing. It is a North Face Aleutian Long bag. It is 3 lbs. 10 oz. and can fit a 6'6" person. It is rated for 20+ degrees and was 60 bucks. I am waiting for the compression bag to get here. There appears to be a gray cat in the picture.

Here is some of the gear which I have purchased for backpacking. This is a High Sierra Summit 45 internal support bag. Its huge. ($65)


This is the 2 person tent. It is a Kelty Teton 2. The tent is only 4 pounds. ($89)


Getting ready to goto Allegheny National Forest for a trial backpacking run with the new gear. Here is where Allegheny is in PA.
