Cool!

The secret for older guys like us is to keep down the weight. Should be
able to do a two or three dayer around twenty pounds, which is pretty
manageable.

When you come out West we need to backpack into a lake for an overnight.

fawn lake!! ;-)

i'm working on the light load principle...esp. since my belly has decided
to add to the load.

just got a light sleeping bag suitable for 3 seasons in nc (35F)...2 lbs.
the tent is about the same. thermarest also...so that leaves 13 pounds for
the food, right? g don't have a stove or water purifier yet, and just
a few basic (cheap) utensils. like me, this camp-fish thing is still a
quirk in progress.

when i see you again, i'll want you to show me that water
purifier/lemonade system you had on slough creek...that was tasty and
refreshing.

...the secret for this geezer is to hike and camp with those who know what
they are doing (and, when possible, with those who can and will carry 60
lbs). g
