My ultimate hobo dream has been a suit, which is comfortable to wear
all the time and which protects you from any kind of environment. You
wont need a tent or a home.

William Gibson has a novel about two agents in the Gobi desert
wearing just that kind of nanotechonological suit. My suit is
becoming close to that, it even has the important built-in-shower
feature, because you can flush the insides and your body with water
any time.

I was experiencing the drift-ice month on a deserted island near
Helsinki last spring and soon found out that it did not make any
sense to wear anything else at anytime. The sleeping bag was rated for
-10C and the wetsuit was most appropriate nightie, when the
temperature sometimes dropped far below.

You wont be getting Noko-style wetsuits from the shops any time soon,
because they just have to be custom cut. Matter-of-fact my suit
constitutes a *dry-suit*, the water cannot get in or out. Some water
is however more comfortable than swimming in your own sweat, probably
because the skin is sensitive to PH-values.
