Sorry guys.....had to type it

51 this August...guess that makes me one of the young guns in the old guy bracket! I had just about had it with ground camping until is stumbled on to this site. It has renewed my vigor for camping! My knees and shoulders have much less of a problem now that I'm off the ground.

Be 52 in May. Still feel pretty good. Kinda disappointed in my hair.
As I age I am slowly learning to accept my ugly. But I am wiser. And I have more money. I flash my credit card and awesome credit rating on smart-alec young punks with good hair and bad skin.......
I just wet myself.

If I reverse the numbers I'll still be the same age, 55.

Some times I feel like my age should be 550 & then I go hiking & feel 5.5 !

57 and looking forward to my first season off the ground. Sleeping on the ground has made for some awfully long nights.

I am reluctant to use them, 'cause then I would miss all the coyote songs. I am really getting to like them, especially since they relocate and give you different sounds during the night.

In Big Bend, we had coyotes as well as owls. It was a wonderful chorus!

All true- but I sleep much easier in groups when I can block out the snoring and snuffling. and I usually go with a group- sometimes I even have a say in who they are, but mostly not.

I will be 54 in a few weeks. A hammock is great for my back and hips. In the BWCA there is a average soil depth of a few inches. It is all rock and roots that poke through my tent floor and into my back.
