Hi Jeff,

    I not only remember Camp 7, I still have and use regularly the down
bag I bought back in 1973. It is purple color (grape I think C7 called
it) and is still in good shape after many years of light to moderate
use.

    I also have an A-16 backpack, sort of.  Shortly after I first bought
it, I replaced the bag with another one made by Camptrails for the A-16
frame. I replaced the front part of the waist belt with one I made using
a Kelty quick release stainless steel buckle. Now I've just replaced the
whole belt again with a lighter and only padded on the sides where
needed belt.

    Who else has what *old* gear (over 10 years) still being used?

John
