He is just so full of knowledge and after suggesting or showing me something ...he will say...."Now remember....you do it your way, the important thing is to just get out and enjoy the Piney woods!" "This is gunna be reeeeeal interesting."

Can you imagine what it must be like....to be in the Piney woods for enjoyment and recreation....
..just to find out that the two guys hiking with you are real live clowns, and this is just their latest gig!?

We were ALL BUSINESS on this ramble ..... WF had never done those kinda miles on that kinda trail. He loved it ....and did well.
That clown is totally hooked.

WF sat in his hammock quietly as I futzed around with my gear. Every night him and I stealthed far away .... as we were the last to camp choosing to enjoy the days walk and savor it. I hate to be at camp to early. So we always had to hunt a hang site ... good training.
One night he said.."Shug .... I am sore and tired and crampy but feel so good and feel like we/I am really doing something". Made me proud to know him.
Shoot .... I took a break from making a video just to enjoy his company and fresh look at hammocks, tarps and backpacking.
He was a blast!
