    Long weekend father son trip at Cheaha

    Son and I are headed out tomorrow for a long weekend. Looking forward to some good bonding time and chance to try some new gear. Headed up to the Cheaha Wilderness area for some short hiking a little rest and relaxation. Going to be trying my new JRB Greylock 3, my Underquilts.com down TQ I finished, and loading it all in my new ULA Circuit. Weather is looking great, and I will be sure to report how things go when I return.

    All packed and ready to go!

    Hmmm, that stool looks mighty familiar... :-)

    Hope you have a great time!

    Spounds like a great trip; I'm hiking with one of my sons this weekend too so I know how you're looking forward to it. I really enjoy it when he and I get to go on hangs.

    Be safe

    This photo is why I love backpacking so much. Two bags for a long weekend or even a week or two. Car camping is always such a drag to pack and unpack from. Seems like I always need a lot more "stuff" to make a car camping trip successful.

    Have a great time! It's awesome you can do this with your son. Looking forward to when my sons are old enough to go. Don't forget pics for us.

    Doesn't the JRB stool seem like it belongs on a pack. It just fits.

    Sitting at the bus stop now waiting on him. Looking forward to it. First time out with the JRB stool, thanks for letting me test drive yours Obmit. They do fit nice on that ULA pack Dutch. Weather is looking good, pics will be forth coming.
