My tent leaked, my sleeping bag could no longer keep me warm anywhere near the
freezing point, my clothes have either holes in them or paint on them, the pot
was borrowed two years ago, and my boots stink (and I'll still need them!)  

So I indulged myself and bought a Photon II or two.  The camera,  is another
story.

Saving the weight was only a benefit.  

Work out?  Why hurt twice, when I can hurt once! 

Fact is, in another few years I'll either be crippled or over this insanity.
