Shawn, that was some great thoughts on how it used to be! I really appreciate the stories & thoughts with & about your Dad! The gear you used really brings back memories as well, very nicely shared my friend!
Heck, I too can recall when we would bivy in & not be worth more than two hundred dollars for everything on us! I mean from boots to packs to bows! -- Nowadays a guy in the woods is worth 3,000 to 7,000 dollars when you think of the boots, packs, sitka gear, binos, GPS, fancy compound, etc. Yes sir things have really changed from 1970 when we would hit the woods without a care in the world & minimum gear, weight was not a factor as long as it fit the bill! (grin) Yes sir those days have un-matchable memories I'll cherish forever with family & friends!
