And pack those babies as FULL as you can....taping them, of course... :)
YOU'VE got your act together...I thank you dearly.
LOL
Just mailed another one today = you couldn't have squeezed a piece of paper in there!
Oh, I also just bought him a sub to National Geo = a favorite of his. He will pass them along as he does the books I send
Oh, again, one thing he said they needed BAD is a small, light and portable pop up mosquito net. Bugs crawl all over them at night, trying to get in mouth, etc.
I found this one online = only 6 oz, so they can fit it in their packs -
