I found a dice game that's really cool. I've been wanting to play with it for a while, and finally got around to it. Check out Blisters. I bought one set of official Blisters dice, and have made two sets with tiny dice for backpacking (they're not for sale as I don't have the copyright to sell them).

I have started training for my USFS Red Card Pack Test. I have serious doubts as to my ability to hike that quickly (3 miles in 45 minutes or less, with a 45-lb pack).
