Was running around today trying to find a 75L ultra lightweight dry bag for the island expedition and noticed my steering wheel grip. Then realized those three fingers, as well as the middle two on the right hand are feeling stronger. Finally, the body is changing.
Did the first pass this morning packing for the atoll, and I'm easily 15 pounds over. I'm a spoiled travel slob with my 3x75 lbs limit from the formerly friendly skies. The little putt-putt that'll take us some 450 miles south of the main island doesn't negotiate. Meet the weight limit, or stay on the main island and work on your tan. Time to get serious about baggage weight.
Found this fabric called Cuben that'll do the trick. Now to find a dry sack made of the stuff large enough for the kit.
Ah, the grip seems to be taking the right form, thanks to secrets from the dirt.
