Maybe you could pack his pack in the UL way without him knowing it, surprise him and bring it to him and have him put it on. Then walk around the neighborhood or park. It might help him see UL/LW is not so bad. If you could use a light pack for him, that might be better.
Excellent suggestion by both leadfoot and ben2world! Thanks guys.
I have been thinking of ways to convince him to get out. He has been busy lately (his father just passed away) and I haven't had a great opportunity. It wasn't until I read this post that I thought I needed to pursue getting him back in a pack.
I have a perfect hike. The Joint Trail to Druid Arch, not far from where he lives in Canyonlands, would be just the ticket. It can be done in a day, but an overnighter would be better. I'm going to make a goal to get him on this by springs end. We have had a tremendous amount of snow near Canyonlands so the springs should be running well.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll let you know how it goes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.
