I did briefly live that lifestyle working as a "field Tech" aka archaeologist. I lived 4 months in a $20 Montgomery Ward Pup tent. I slathered Thompsons Water Seal on the fly to make it water...

I'm over the hill with thinning dk brown hair and grey. Will probably not color it b/c I'm a wash and wear type, not interested in spending time and $$ on hair. Don't like chemicals. And honestly...
