Rest material is actually white rice. And I don't pack the bags super tight, either. Just a hair under "full" or "bulge" seems to be much more consistent.
I had a big road trip, 1500 miles, 100 gumbo, 300 rutted dirt, 50 freshly-graded dust. Saw lots of towns, got new permissions, but passed up all of it except one spot. It was a writing trip,and the interviews were packed in pretty tight. So I only got out one rifle for a walk, my Fireball, for a couple hours near Big Sandy. Using sticks, longest shot was only about 150, nothing but little pups so I took 16 shots and missed three. Again, it's been a long time and the memory curve was pretty steep. But a nice walk on a nice morning.
Hopefully will be done with my article by the end of the week and can go have some fun for real.
