- If you have _any_ questions about camping gear, _the_ newsgroup to
- post to is rec.backcountry. All they do is talk about places to hike
- to, food to cook on campouts, gear to cook in, etc. etc. (among many
- other topics). This type of query is _regularly_ posted there, and
- there seems to be many experienced campers on that newsgroup whwo
- could help you.
-
- Hope this helps.
