You can't miss me on the summer trail--I'm the guy with the towering Kelty 
and the monster leather boots--and quite happy about it, too!!

My ears don't hear talk like that! lol I'll tell you, include in my base 
weight then a bottle of scotch! I might go retro and carry a rickety clump 
of an old pack, too, just to get the comments for fun!

It isn't a strange attitude at all. I think it is great
that we can all compare notes and figure out how best to
equip ourselves but I got tired of the incessant badgering
that some people directed towards others on the trail
regarding gear choices.
