This is a good thing because most of them will let you try it out for a few miles. No matter how comfortable it feels in the store you need to walk a few mile to make sure it works just right for you. Just like shoes no fanny pack is right for everybody.<br /><br />Great post the packing list is almost identical to what I carry in my camelbak.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453515041699651452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27048275.post-35745267730800893202010-06-02T22:08:06.971-04:002010-06-02T22:08:06.971-04:00Thanks for all the wonderful tips!

I found them for 99 cents at walmart in the toy section.

I couldnt get moleskin to stick last year on my heels (not sure what the trick is with that!) and the corn pads fit nicely around my blisters and prevented further rubbing too!<br /><br />Anywho!

Plenty of room for all your essentials including a light weight jacket & hat (you may want to take them off). The bladder is easy to refill with ice and water or your favorite beverage. NEVER put Gatorade in a bladder - makes them nasty and not fun to clean. Camelbak sells Elixir tablets (in a variety of flavors) and there is another brand out there too. Just add water and ice. I LOVE Elixir - not nearly as sweet as Gatorade so if you don't love Gatorade give this a try. See you on the trails!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27048275.post-16872355659444206562010-06-02T16:37:06.787-04:002010-06-02T16:37:06.787-04:00This blog was funny and full of good solid advice....This blog was funny and full of good solid advice.
