My Locale Great Lakes
About Me Getting back after long layoff. Use to pack back in the 70/80's with 50# loads. Getting together a gear list that looks to be around 11# base weight. I'm partial to the Great lakes region but open to treks almost anywhere.
Also like canoeing (up to class 3) fishing and x-skiing.
