My Locale Southern Turkey
About Me I've been a woods and wilderness wanderer since I was a kid. Have traveled on foot with a pack, camped, hunted, fished many U.S National Forests, Mexico, Latin America, Asia and Europe. My particular interest is in exploring the remains of ancient cultures and traveling with traditional peoples: nomads and the few remaining forest dwellers. When given a choice I've always traveled light, or perhaps I should say with minimal gear.

You're welcome Bill. I'll probably pick up another one when we return to the states. Then, I'll be looking for someone to sew extensions on the shoulder straps for me. We've been tr...
