Saw this on another forum and I thought it would be interesting to ask here. I'm sure it's been asked before but things and people change:
[COLOR=#000000 !important]From the time you decide you want to plan a backpacking trip, to the time you actually make it to the trail head, what is the hardest part for you?
For me it is the waiting. I am 9 days out from my first trip of the season. Food is ready, clothing is ready, gear is organized and tested. I just need to pack my pack. But I am seriously impatient because I'm really looking forward to finally getting out there this year, and I already know that patience is not one of my better qualities.
So what is it for you?[/COLOR]
