oops....lol.

i wasnt exactly miserable.i'm not a real smiley guy but mostly i was exhausted and literally in agony.my shoulders and lower back felt exactly like i was getting a shot from the doctor that just never ended and it got old after a few hours.i adjusted that pack every which way to no evail and was cursing it out loud the whole entire time.i will talk to them on the phone before i completely give up on all $300 worth of it.

a 4 mile hike is nothing but this one was a complete monster.then when i get to camp i need to chop half the night to get enough fire wood to last all night and instead of going to bed i stayed up till 3AM and drank once the kid was a sleep...oops.

my surefire G2 LED also gave me problems and barely put out any light even with new batteries in it.i'm sick of stuff thats supposed to be top of the line and double the price that works like ---- when you need it.i'm pissed.

my COUNTY COMM little emergency radio that i always bring so i can listen to something when i'm drinking by the fire wouldnt work either.i'm so sick of people making junk.

i thank the busse brothers though.i nailed my "BIG ONE" on a rock and the ding on the blade is barely visible and i hit it hard.

kifaru piised me off.the packs are very versatile and state of the art but mine was super uncomfortable when loaded down.they custom tailor them according to your size and it feels like they made mine too small/short.

while it was a lot of work i did have fun.i told my son on the trail that all the hard work hiking in would have a pay off and the view on that lake and staring into that fire in the middle of the mountains was worth it for me.

the kids strong as an ox from football and didnt have any problems.we should've switched packs...lol.i was trying to keep up with him.he's the best.he never whines,cries or complains.does what i say when i say it and i've never put a hand on him.some kids do all that out of fear.he's just naturally good.

we see these kids screaming,crying and kicking their parents at his school and i'll look at him and tell him "dont you ever act like that."he's 8 but acts like he's 40.
