KYratshooter member Registered: 10/25/07 Posts: 29 Loc: North KY, S of Cincinnati	Going to show my age here. How many have read the works of Nesmuck, Kephart, Whelan, Rangston, Angier. How many of us started when a packboard was the recommended equipment and not a pack frame, much less an"internal"? Anyone remember when the A/T was a "rumor"? How many of us still choose a Knife as our #1 piece of emergency gear rather than a flashlight or cell phone? Yep, I'm really old!
