It seems to me that a healthy, natural diet for an omnivorous beastie such as "Homo NotalwaysSapiens" should mimic that which we evolved eating. So, today, I had my breakfast Mooseburger and some fruit, then, put 75 lbs. into my spanking new Mystery Ranch NICE-OVERKILL frame with Crew Cab, a superb working/hunting/heavyduty pack and went for a walk in the 90*F heat.

This is Vancouver, BC, even more diverse, laid-back and totally relaxed about outer appearances than San Francity is reputed to have been 40 years ago (can it really be that long?), so, nobody even looks at a guy strolling along under a heavy pack.

This gets me into shape for backpacking like nothing else, toughens my calf muscles and strengthens my elderly bod in many respects. The pack is a piece of sheer genius, I have the matching NICE Frame-6500 bag as well plus a MR BDSB and an MR Deluxe; these will carry 100 weighed lbs. of sand bags with NO discomfort and nothing I have ever used will worls as well for conditioning.
