Spock member Registered: 01/10/06 Posts: 679 Loc: Central Texas	The wild is freedom; backpacking is the means to enter that realm of freedom; packing light liberates the body and mind to become emersed in the wild. Maybe fewer words: Packing light liberates the body and mind from the encumbrances of things so the wilderling can become emersed in the freedom of the wild.
