I turned 50 this last January, but I've been lightening the load for several years.
I'm not able to ruck 100 pounds thru the jungle, desert, mountains or even out back anymore!
When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!
those were the days for sure when we could hump the hills like a billy goat
hows that saying go that was then this is now.
Or "Not as good as I once was....but as good, once, as I always was"?

Hayshaker - There was a day when I could scramble up hills like a goat. Now I roll down them like a stone. I guess the up side is I gather no moss.
The down side is that as I get older the body shape is more conducive to rolling!
And there is the other side of the issue to consider.
These young guys can put all their stuff in a pack and hump it up and down the hills because they don't own as much as us old geezers.
The term "minimalist" is actually defined as "poorly paid".
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
I read many years ago about people using goats as pack animals. They can carry a fair amount plus the eat anything so there is no need to pack food for them.
On a side note, I cleared my cookies but still get this error "Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum"
And where have you been? We've stated numerous times it's a bug in the vBulletin software. Hopefully, when Chris loads the next version that will be resolved.
What was that???
I didn't catch that last part..
Who is going to dissolve what ????

I love camping, and can go ultra light, or full Monte
If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

Not 50 yet but find that the older I get, the less attractive my previous minimalist views are.
