Your Story or Advice for Others

General Comments
My second E2E, this time solo. Having just left the navy after 35 years service, I figured I needed to take a long walk in order to figure out how to be a civilian!

Your Best Equipment
My Aarn backpack married to the new Aarn 'Water Wizard' integrated poncho

Your Worst Equipment
None. Had one equipment failure with my Sea to Summit silicon pot but they replaced under their lifetime warranty - can't ask for better than that.

Advice for Others
Take your time.
