I’d love to go back camping with a light load. Maybe I am no longer young enough for it.

    That’s why you use a hammock. Trade a heavy tent for a light hammock and fly. Then knock down the weight of everything else. Look into ultralight hiking and use poles. Then set realistic distance goals. I thought I’d have to give up hiking after knee surgery, but going ultralight and using poles keeps me racking up the miles.

      You’re right! Sometimes I think, having the big 7 on my age counter means to slow down. But it shouldn’t. There is so much still to see and explore.
