I can't stop....
I just set my Wave down there to give you an idea of how big those items were. The watch is actually something I bought last week. I freakin love that watch!
In case you were wondering what was in that black bag.
I just might go on another overnight hike this week. Depends on what my gf says though, haha.

HA! I wish it were as easy as that. Her family is from Idaho, and she's done more than her fair share of backpacking. I'm talking week long trips.. and she has grown to hate it. It kinda sucks sometimes though, how she'll tease me about her being more experienced at this stuff than I am, haha.. All in good fun though.

That flashlight is great. It's just like a spotlight it's really bright. The beam is focused a lot too so you get a concentrated beam of light. It has a red, blue, and green filter for it too. It runs on 2 123 batteries for 2 hours. I bought mine for $65 (US) at Sportsmans Warehouse.
