I’ve used regular ziplocs in the past but it only takes ten minutes for the compression to go away and the air to leak in again."

No way you could camp nearby the site and just be “stealthy”?" ...yeah, would have loved it, but the Mrs was with me! I should be grateful enough that she comes camping with me at all I guess, but I've suggested wild camping in Scotland next summer and she's telling me there are hundreds of murderers lurking around the hills! This paranoid state that we live in amazes me! We have stayed in huts, the streets and other random locations whilst traveling but wasn't usually because we wanted too! And if you're looking for a tent, checkout the ultralights! OK, there not quite as light as a bivi, but you can get them now for around 1kg, and they come with space to move your elbows and everything! In repsonse to: “Btw…23 pounds sounds really pricey.

I love the Ubuntu, I recently carried an Acer AspireOne on a hitchike to the Republican National Convention (for protesting). My first time with a computer, and verizon air card. It was a real joy to have along. I've been brainstorming about a travelers distribution of linux. Any ideas are welcome. I was thinking about the tanktop, and I've conc;luded that though it is fashionable and cool It does not protect from the sun or relax the straps of your pack (but just the opposite)or go from wet to dry, and dry to wet faster than nylon athletic clothing which, 1 doesn't become unfashionably wrinkled ever, 2 dries really really fast, 3 is very light weight. 4 protects your shpoulders from direct hits from the sun. If I'm going to go cool (and I do) I'll just take the shirt off all together. I wear sandals and socks for the same reasons I gave above plus 5, socks protect from biting fire ants and keep your sandals smelling nice.
