Err...I don't recall using the word "stupid." But if I did, I'm very sorry. I guess I did say that absolute statements are often false. Let me add that it would certainly be unreasonable to say that strapping stuff on a backpack is invariably and absolutely a bad idea. It's something I do sometimes. In fact, I lost a nice pair of cheap sandals that way a couple of years ago bushwacking out of the Adamant Range in BC.

I certainly didn't mention anything about our dear boys in Iraq, nor offer views on the adequacy of U.S. or Canadian military equipment and training.

By citing Colin Fletcher's advise, and that of others, I certainly didn't mean to git on "the fight'n side" of anybody. I do own and enjoy several of Merle Haggard records, though I thought he was mistaken about Vietnam.

But seriously, if you needed to drive from Oklahoma to California, would you rather do it in the Beverly Hillbillies' pick-up truck while pulling a trailer, or just pack everything into a van where Grandma would probably be safer? (Or how about a Miata?).

BTW I'm 51--eligible for AARP membership, but not Medicare.
