Hello! I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to introduce myself. Like many here in MN, I grew up hunting whitetail and waterfowl with my family. The AF sent me to Colorado back in '93, and since then I've left little pieces of my heart scattered over the western states, most recently in the Bitterroots. I imagine I'll spend a lot of time in the Lightweight Zone, as I find my gear getting 'lighter by necessity' as I get older and the mountains mystically get steeper
