Red Bull and his companions are taking a well deserved zero day in Pearisburg. I asked Red Bull what he was doing, and he told me they had restocked their supplies at Walmart; and he was watching the History Channel. He also informed me that all the needles I had given him in his mini sewing kit were now bent. I asked what he had been sewing, he told me he was trying to use one to fix his hiking boots that were tearing. He said a friend had also borrowed one to repair his pack. I told him he could pick up heavier needles at Walmart, or almost any store. He is debating wearing his boots until they fall apart, or having us bring his hiking shoes on our next visit. I advised the hiking shoes. I cannot imagine his boots getting to the point where he would need to buy new ones somewhere along the trail. Breaking in new boots hiking 15-20+ miles each day, carrying 35 pounds of gear would be torture.
