Cheers Dexter, I got a good laugh out of that. I'm pleased to say that the only one I've been guilty of is number 35.

Guilty of 27.
Who needs more than two pairs of socks?

I did the Larapinta (wiith lots of sidetrips) with a single pair of Injinjis.
They were wrecked by the end, but it did mean a lighter load.

I did it with two pairs of Injinjis, however I did take another pair of thick woollen socks to sleep in.
Decadent, I know!

I didn't think the sock issue included campwear. My possum wool bedsocks go everywhere with me.

The only problem with a damp pair of Injinjis is that they take 5 minutes to put on!

#44 would be all the packers who cried out in angst that vollys were not going to be the same when they were split from dunlop.
I don't hit many of those but I've seen the temptation, and I've done training with a few freshly minted pros who found out the hard way why the guide always has a heavy pack.... Good fun though!

You know you have taken UL bushwalking too far when you scrape the vowels off your map to reduce the ink weight.
