    Hammock Base Camp, (too old to hike anymore)


    I am 85 years old so that I no longer hike that much anymore and am now content to base camp.

    Got to see that your still getting out, hope I'm able at your age! Beautiful spot, no wonder you have visitors. Shame you have to haul everything out with ya. While I'm sure the gram weenies cringe at that pack, those canvas packs sure are cool!! More character than the nylon stuff that's popular these days.

    Thanks for the video, hope to see many more....

    Nice video and never too old to still get out. I always enjoy a look at your gear. You always bring something different to the discussion.
    Thanks for sharing and encouraging me! I hope to be as active when I reach your wisdom level.

    Enjoyed the video and that's a beautiful spot. Started building a base camp on our property for just the same reasons. Take care and thank you for the video, Al
