[pct-l] Sherman Tanks

[Montedodge@aol.com]

A Sherman Tank  and myself weigh about the same nowdays so I must admit to 
needing the extra support of a regular hiking boot over a running shoe. I 
would step out and say most men over 200 lbs would agree. Running shoes are 
great with light packs and light hikers, but us heavy weights did a little 
more. I am starting to reduce gear weigh though ( each pound less of gear 
means one more pound of food I can take )
