Howdy,
If you've read any of my posts, I'm getting back into backpacking and hiking. We've done a bit of truck-camping while the boy is growing up.
The new gear is so much lighter than I used to use and cheaper, that I'm having a hard time understand why paying a whole bunch more for just a few ounces less makes sense. But I am thankful for the trickle down effect!!
Take care..
