TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Anybody lose a sock ?

As I lost weight on my Tassie adventure cold nights really bothered my knees and the aching was costing me sleep. It was getting to be a problem. As I slogged along the horrid Port Davey Track headed for what I knew would be a cold night in the Western Arthurs I was ruminating on how to keep my knees warm (you know,multi-tasking !). After about five minutes of this what did I see lying between the mudholes and slumbering tiger snakes in the track but a single sock, and not just an ordinary sock, but a giant sock ! In a flash I knew my nights of cold knees were over.

Well, no, not a sock but, now that you mention it - I don't suppose anyone's been down to Cape Pillar lately and found a pair of fairly new Shimano sunglasses in a lightweight moulded plastic case? Probably on that rocky slope between Perdition Ponds and the Hurricane Heath campsite. It got a wee bit breezy in the arvo and I had to crawl back up there.
Great lateral thinking, there, kat. Good thing it wasn't some other part of the anatomy that was needing the extra insulation . . .

Amazing! Now look what you've started. Leg Warmers will be the next big bushwalking fashion. 
Perhaps Nik can add leg warmers to the bwt shop.
