OK, as lame as it sounds I discovered the ultimate campin accessory.
When our friends finnaly made it up here last Thursday they started passin out gifts. I got a pair of flip flops. Never owned any kind of sandle before, just boots and the occasional pair of sneakers.
While at the camp ground and down at the river I found that...
flip flops =freedom, specialy when ya gotta get up in the middle of the night ta visit the latrine. At the beach I didn't burn the heck outta my feet on the hot sand. This may be common knowledge ta all those who do other than reenactment camping, but it was a revelation ta me. Never thought I'd own a pair, but fer campin it was one of the best gifts I ever got.
