That work thing got in the way again and forced me to go out of town, so there haven't been any recent posts. However, I'm going backpacking in the Cohutta Wilderness this weekend and will have a full report next week. I'm taking two of my nephews. One is about to leave for college and the other will be a senior in high school. I've acquired a decent amount of random gear, but I don't have enough for three people, so it will be an interesting trip. I have one extremely large pack that I'm planning on putting all the gear in and making one of them carry; they're both wrestlers and in way better shape than I am, plus I'm a slacker. I have a super light weight tent, but we won't all fit in there, so I am currently debating some type of tarp contraption. I also have a light weight stove, but I'm almost out of fuel and don't feel like driving all the way to REI to get more. I'll probably just take my heavier stove, but its low on fuel too, so I'll probably take both. It'll make the pack heavy but, as I stated earlier, I'm not carrying the pack. I also don't have enough sleeping bags, but its summer and I'm sure we'll survive. Check back next week and I'll let you know how it went.
