In fact, the warmth of a sleeping body and the protection the groundsheet provides to the grasses can only be seen as a positive influence in the husbandry of the plant. Bent stems should of course be combed back to straightness and so all considerate backpackers should carry a lightweight rake for the purpose. A coarse comb might also do the trick.<br /><br />The use of the loud hailers is, IMHO, a little over the top.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-90151087632086736962010-04-01T08:00:24.700+01:002010-04-01T08:00:24.700+01:00Very good Mike.I know what you are up to.
