I just did a relatively relaxing change. I'm deciding to keep my bag going for this change. I took a bunch of water and filled it up and rinsed it out...

Yeah.. I appreciate everyone's input here! I can't tell you the comfort that comes from just knowing others have gone brought what I'm into and have s...
