What's the best way to prevent the inevitable "my back got really sweaty carrying this backpack and now I've taken off my pack to rest above treeline and my sweaty back is cold and uncomfortable" situation?

Hi Will,

I saw this response and have a follow up question.

Thanks.

HOW WOULD WE STRUCTURE A SYSTEM THAT DID NOT HAVE TO EXPAND

Hi Gar,

1. What is the best way to get involved in the New Economy here in Maryland?

2. I am a public accountant who would like to help promote worker ownership and work with cooperatives/collectives to navigate business formation, structuring, financing, and taxation issues. Any tips for getting started in this area?
