Some time ago I was on one of the trails leading out of Yosemite Valley----all these are well populated in the summer and I noticed a lot of trash and began picking it up...until I inadvertently picked up a piece of experienced toilet paper.
It ruined the rest of my hike

I was in northern Australia and I ducked under an over-hanging rock to get out of the rain -- and there above me was an ancient pictograph -- someone else had got out of the rain here before! Back in the States, if I duck under anywhere, it will usually have toilet paper lying around.

Anybody tried wet plate?
I recently bought a very nice Kelty frame pak on flea bay.
Should have done that a lonnngg time ago.
Used to attach my camera to my tripod, put filmholders in small book bag, and head for the hills with asstd other necessary accoutrements stashed here and there on my person.
I am officially done with that style of hiking for photography, especially with the Dorff.
