[at-l] Light weight. Does it end on the trail?

[ericmarcano@yahoo.com (Nighthawk)]

Interesting topic! I just read a book called "Repacking Your Bags:
Lighten Your Load for the Rest of Your Life" by Richard Leider and David
Shapiro. It deals with mid-life crises. (UUggghh! I can't believe I'm at
that point!). Anyways, the book touches on the topic of outfitting for
backpacking and adventure travel many times, comparing this to the heavy
loads we choose to carry on our shoulders each and every day and the
process of making a conscious effort to sort through our "gear" on a
regular basis and eliminate those things that weigh us down. Well, I'm
sure ya'll get the picture.
