I just finished packing for my weekend trip. Everything I need is either in my pack or attached to the outside. Warm clothes, pots, water, and everything else. The total weight is 65 pounds; 20 more than I've been training with. Good thing I don't have to walk far.
I'm not entirely sure what's in store for me, but new experiences are always the catalyst for growth, and this one won't be an exception.
I've never made New Years resolutions, but I can't help but see the coincidences with this trip. It begins on January first and starts my official trips. This will be my first trip since turning 18. And, like I said in an earlier post, my first trip in winter. I can't wait.
Stay safe and get that pack weight down. Its very possible. That much weight creates more danger than safety in most cases.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny looking back on this. Back then I just didn't have the gear to pack lighter. Now, I can pack for a week of backpacking in 40 pounds or less.
