I haven't been around for a while, much less contribute. It's really great to see the site still going strong, and all the continued interest in ul gear, ideas etc. I still pack light, but have most interests in light weight paddling.
Still see a few of the old handles here, but lots and lots of new ones.
Still a great site!
Take care all!

Welcome back! You know that we now have a canoeing/paddling section on this forum?

Great to hear from you SoloJoe !

Packlite

Yeh, we do move on. I'm saddled with caring for five dogs. My wife buys em (her joy) and I get to care for them (my joy). Other than that, gardening, photography, cycling, caring for this website. Still get out once in a while though. Sold all my paddling gear and canoes.

Recently "saw" John Macri in a couple of photography forums that I visit.
