  • a custom, home-made bottle digging probe that doubles as a good weapon to shove up someones arse if they jump in front of you.
  • a few very crumpled up *Why You Can Trust The Bible*, and *you're going to burn in hell-like* flyers that didn't make it to our recycle bin that those poor, young robotic boys put on our doorknobs on a daily basis.
  • a few pretty rocks, and OMG! that one looks just like an arrowhead, how'd that get in my pack? (kidding), and some broken amethyst glass at the bottom of my pack. (not kidding).
  • a lizard noose (homemade, of course)
  • a smushed,or smashed (tastes the same) but still edible, longer shelf life than they claim, Smuckers Uncrustables peanut butter flavored grape jelly sandwich (whole grain, because I like to eat healthy)
  • a floppy string cheese that has seen better days, and tastes, and smells more like limburger than mozzarella. (Fun to play with: I always forget to bring the plastic googly eyes though-so cute, Mr. Cheese all floppy-woppy, and looks all drunk, and stoned, and smellin like a dirty hippie climber, and all.)
  • three headlamps, two of my own, and Jonny's I grabbed by mistake running out the door. Ooopsie!
...in a red, beat up Osprey backpack with multiple holes, and tears on the bottom from all the scared as hell, I mean bad-ass butt-sliding I've done downclimbing steep slabs in the middle of nowhere this past year.

Almost forgot, and a *smoking Indonesian baby*. He really grows on you.

heh!

Is there a problem with picking up an arrowhead?

Depends where you find it I think. In the Southwest, there may be more limits on collecting. In the midwest when you turn over the dirt in a farm field, it's yours to toss or keep.
