Digging a cat hole in that soil is a challenge in itself, but I pack it to an outhouse then flush the ziplock bag (wash it out)

My last two trips ('15 & '16)were around roughly the same time, so I'm hoping that the bugs leave me alone like they have in the past, but you all have convinced me to bring a bug net along. As for the rain...that's kind of what happens on the island, at least in my experience. I don't remember ...

Up until this year I was a smoker, but they seem to Iike me more now that I've kicked that habit. I'll pick one up and use it on a training hike in a couple weeks to see how it feels.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, This will be my 3rd trip to IR in as many years. The first time I went I was out of shape and unprepared and absolutely fell in love with the island. Last year I did 6 days and felt confident in my legs. This year I'm wanting to push it. So without further ado, July 3 Rock Harbor to Dai...
