:o :-* ;D ;)

Hi,
Yeah I have been wondering about that too.....since Jack had to wait till his clothes to drued then how long was it till he went up the mountain to meet Ennis when he was all dressed in dry clothes again. I can't imagine that the clothes dried too fast on the chilly, cloudy mountain, so maybe it had to be a few days later?
I have been wondering and trying to figure all these things out too.. ;D
And I wondered about the hat too, I noticed that right away. Why does he keep it on? ;D

Okay, let me try to tackle these things... Ennis only had one pair of jeans. That's why he so carefully rolls up his jeans before stepping into the stream to clean the coffeepot. Ennis took off his boots, because he likes having bare feet (and putting them up on the coffee table while watching TV). Ennis washes with his hat on because he wants to keep his hat clean and there is no hat hanger on the mountain. Jack washes with his boots on because he has sensitive feet. Also, his boots have holes in them so they dry fast. Jack washes naked not because he has no other clothes but because he likes being naked. Jack is washing all the extra shirts because he used them to clean up the bedroll after that first nite in the tent. Whew! Any other questions?

I don't think we're supposed to pay much attention to that kind of detail. Too distracting! ::)

Yes, I must admit, I'm having a laugh at this thread too, not that it all doesnt make sense, and the questions are all valid, but it is funny reading all the posts..
Must admit, I wondered what Ennis had in the bag, and in the beginning it looked like a paper bag to me, but when he was looking for his shirt, when they came down from the mountain, it looked like a material one.
Something else, that always catches my eye....in one of the campfire scenes, Jack goes to put his booted foot on a rock in the fire, but it keeps slipping off into the actual flames, where he ends up leaving it there.....now that sure would have got hot very quickly....anyone else notice what I'm talking about?
