bandanna's are the bomb for this. always one in my back pocket... i always end up with them, cause the roll in my pack always ends up in my hunters kit.

When I was a teenager, I was out hunting and I had a case of the raging ##its.  Just so happened I was wearing my dads coat.  He didn't find it all that funny when I came home with a coat missing both pockets.  I never did tell him I was also missing my shirt sleeves, underwear and the upper part of my socks.  That was one bad day.  Oh and yes that was after I spent all my mountain money.

I had a great experience with basegear.com.  They have 20% off for new members.  I got a Marmot Helium Long bag for $300.  It is an awesome bag at 2 lbs and is a very warm 15*.
