Interesting discussion and apt since I was bound up with Herr Covid during my prime backpacking months---January and February. Sob. But do not despair---I am still fighting with angry Turtleheads as on this trip a Little Adolf sprung forth and I placed him in his cathole and ran back to my tent and found him sitting by the tent door ready for a smelly confrontation etc. On December's trip as I was hovering over a cathole a mean Turd tied my boot laces together and I of course fell flat on my face next to the Grinning Stool. Etc.
I think I'm back for awhile.
Tipi - thanks for the trip report, and always good job on the photos. How is your thumb doing?

Walter, glad you got through covid and are back to your usual ultralight trips.
Always enjoy your trip reports. This was a crazy one. 110 pound backpack! I'd be in traction for a month if I tried that.
