    Headed up the the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for a couple night 22 mile promenade on the Kekekabic Trail to Disappointment Trail. Just a slight reprieve from life. High winds and on and off rain put a mood on the walk.

    For me retirement has not been easy. I let work be my purpose in life. After a completely unexpected quintuple by-pass a year ago at age 57 you realize how short your time on this beautiful rock is. You also find out who your friends aren’t, kind of an awakening. We decided I would retire so we could do the things we had planned to do later in life now. You just never know what life has in store for you. We bought a 5th wheel and spend as much time camping as we can.

      Both my parents passed two years ago and I just had a knee replaced at 52, those two things really have me thinking about using the rest of my time wisely. One of the last wise things my mother told me as her life was slipping away was, “ whatever your going to do you better get busy doing it.” That rings in my head like a bell. Happy camping!

    Critters, rain and wind gusts oh my! That chipmunk wins on being fully confident. At least he was nicer than the canoe k-9.
    I love the trips where mother nature throws us a curve ball. That's the stuff memories are made from. Good soliloquy on pack weight. Agreed about "whatever gets you outside" and that it's always adjusting. I take it all trip by trip. Went on a day hike yesterday with the whole crew to a waterfall. My day pack weight was heavier than what I normally carry on a weekend trip.

    Shug, been watching you do these since 2013, never a disappointment. I can relate to your recent circumstances, at the end of my military career I had spent the last portion with JSOC and the let down from all that was huge. Your videos have really helped me get out there, despite injuries, and enjoy it.
    Thanks Sean.

Preparation and Mitigation and Planning is not covered/Talked about as often as it should be when going into the Backcountry.
