I made Eagle in a troop in Orange County in the late 80s-early 90s (I think I was about 16 at the time).

We had really crappy backpacks back in that day!

 

[CWS]

1970 for me. We bought our backpacks at REI. It had just opened and was a co-op.

I went to Philmont in '80 with a really crapping external frame. 110 miles in ten days with a POS backpack. Now I've got a really good backpack but need to get into shape in order to try something like that again. I also went to the Sommers Canoe Base outside Ely, MN in '81. We did a total of 240 miles in ten days with about 15 miles of portage. Now those packs were really sad. Giant bags with two straps to cut through your shoulders.

You need to plan a hike on Isle Royal National Park.

We did the John Muir Trail from one end to the other. Used Kelty Packs and down bags. Food drops every 50 miles. Was a great trip.

Looks beautiful. The wifey and I were in Estes Park, CO this past Sept. Me for business and she for fun, anyway, we went up in the Rocky Mtn National Park and I wish I could have spent another week up there. The Aspens were just starting to turn, but the temps were perfect. We're planning on heading back this Sept. Just for fun next time.

My first real pack was a Kelty Yukon (way old style). I referbished the old pack and sent it to my nephew who's been in scouting for about two years. You'd have thought I sent him a bucket of gold. I've got a Jansport Alaska internal frame now. North Face down bag, Sierra Designs Omega tent, hell I've got everything I need for some awesome backcountry camping, except extra time.
