I’m still packing them out on my back and taking the heaviest load at 60, it is much harder than in my 40’s but also more satisfying.
Really looking forward to having the grandson along this year. This will be his 3rd trip and at 15 he is ready to go physically, at 6’3” about 250 and wearing size 15 boots. We start training this month with packs & rifles hiking up hills in the dark. If things go as planned I won’t be carrying the heaviest load any more.
