About Me

53 year old male, divorced, live with my three cats in a small town in SW OK. I work as a mental health therapist. I'm not the lightest backpacker, as I like my comforts, but still like to choose the lightest alternative. I ususally don't get to go backpacking but a few times a year, but usually get out weekly for a good day hiking, rock scrambling, and some climbing.
I am powerless over gear browsing, fondling, buying, playing with, and selling to begin the cycle again.

	Camping and Woodcraft by Horace Kephart This book is more than a dusty old volume about a dusty old hiker. It's valuable, not only for the lightweight philosophy as noted above, but for the drawings and descriptions of different types ...	In Books and Media February 10, 9:39pm
