Light isn’t always right

Regarding “Pound-Wise or Pound-Foolish?” [May 17]: Chewing on seaweed at breakfast, lunch and dinner sounds awful. I like my coffee and cinnamon bun with bacon or Spam and eggs, and I always bring a grilled steak or fresh sausages for the first night. For happy hour? Snow-laced daiquiris, with nuts and cheese.

I for one am not going to the most gorgeous country I have ever seen with cold dried dates.

Forty-eight years of wilderness walking have earned me the right to pour boiling water over a packet of oatmeal and brown sugar as I watch the sun rise over the trees and lakes of the Sierra.

The most important item carried into the outdoors is the knowledge and skill contained in your brain -- more important than any gadget, lightweight or not, on your back.
