My Locale Big Sky Country
About Me I have been backpacking on and off since the mid 80's. More on these past few years as I have gotten older. My packing is becoming my lifeline if you will. It provides balance and restoration to the mind and soul. Besides, it's a great hobby for someone who loves toys and suffers from an incurable case of gizmosis.

Re: Seller Contact
Seller claims to have sent several PM's to me and hadn't heard anything back from me. I never received any PM's. Says my package will arrive via UPS on Wednesday. Hopefully it does.
