Tick borne encephalitis and they take it very seriously in Franconia and Bavaria anyway. You have to get 3 shots the first two a month apart and then the third within 12 months for full immunity (for up to 10 years) I thought it was a bit over the top but on a couple of occasions when I sat down I could see ticks crawling towards me or up the outside of my trousers. I didn't get bitten by one but did a damn good check every evening :evil: .Anniesantiago said:What is TBE?
A stave is perfect used this way. It is cheap and complete in itself.Personally I like to use one pole or staff rather than two (I make my own staves). It turns me into a tripod, which is much more stable on rough ground - also useful to distance dogs.
I know that packs are one of the 'hot button' questions on the forum but I am going to dive in here anyhow! I grew up in the days before comfortable packs were invented. Internal frames came as such a huge advance on the external one I began my traveling/tramping life with. And I fell in love with my Deuter ACT-lite pack on my Camino. It was light, but definitely not the lightest one around. But it had an excellent frame which fitted me like a glove, while still allowing airflow that kept the sweat level under control. I felt like it was a 'friend' for my back, not placing any unnecessary strain on it. Some packs might be lighter, but I don't think they always make the load so easy to carry.Corwen said:A pack does nothing for you except stop your stuff falling on the floor so get the lightest one possible, it is one of the big three items (pack, tent, sleeping bag) where you can save considerable weight so make the most of it.
Hola Br David;Br. David said:............. - only problem is that it isn't curved enough to airflow as I would like.
but then ... is there a problem with a curved inner back that the weight is further away from the body - cantilever effect and all that? :|
