    Tips for the new Dog

    Backpacker Magazine

    I think if you sign up to have a Tanga account, it is $1 cheaper...probably not worth it though. I also generate a Virtual Account Number for the credit card. If you guys haven't tried it, you should. It is a great system for online shopping when you don't know the site well!

    Ticks

    I have gotten in the habbit of spraying some tick spray on my lower pant legs, boot area. Not sure if it really helps, but it doesn't hurt.

    Asolo discovery..

    Jay, I unfortunately do not have any experience with the Discovery boots, but I have been wearing Asolo FSN 95 boots pretty much since I started hiking. They were the first boot that fit my feet after trying many pairs and I have replaced them with new boots as needed (my current pair is worn...
