I cannot even begin to tell you how fortunate I feel after reading about stuff like this that I lived my era in the days of throwing a pack saddle on a mule, balancing 150 lbs on the animal, adjusting the stirrups on my gelding and riding off into the Sierras.
Well Mex .... you sure traveled in luxury back then. Try the same thing backpacking with 45 lbs. on yer back.
I still try to get out and do this in the High Sierras with the grandkids ... but it's tough. When I'm doing this kind of camping I can't get any sleep at night cuz I'm awake all night in the tent thinking of how much nicer it would be doing the same thing in our RV with it's comfy beds, AGM batteries, LED lights, Internet system, propane furnace and stove, air conditioning, and push-button generator. But rats .... no RV can get to where we backpack. :W
