Introducing a new guest blogger - David

To help keep new information flowing onto this blog when I'm too busy to write anything, I've decided to invite other experts that I trust to occasionally write an article about a topic where they can share their real world lessons. To that end, I begin by introducing you to the first such author - my friend David. David prefers that I not mention his last name for privacy reasons, but you can see from the list below of what is in his bag that he's got some great gear! If you think you've got some great gear, check out what is in his awesome bag:
