Congratulations, jimshaw, on making it to 65 without fatal mishap!

After reading this thread, I will keep my age, the base weight I carried in my 20s and all other aspects of my vast backcountry experience to myself -- because however good it may sound at first blush, you guys take all the fun out of my bragging myself up, by being older, smarter, and better looking than me every darned time! grin
