I went back packing in the Deam Wilderness this past weekend. As usual, I carried my Shield 9mm in one of the pack side pockets, and the spare mag in the belt pouch. I also had a zip-lock bag with peanut m&ms in the same pouch.
It was wicked-hot Friday and early Saturday, and then the sky opened up late Saturday and we got drenched. I thought I was mostly OK and kept my pistol and cell phone dry during the rain. But, when I got home and was unpacking, I realized that a couple of m&ms got out of the zip lock and melted from the heat and/or rain and had coated my spare magazine with chocolate and bits of colorful candy coating. Good thing I didn't need it, and it reminds me why I never keep anything in the same pocket as my gun.
I guess I'll use the excuse to clean all my mags.
