If those are heavy you need a wider strap over your scaphotrapezotrapezoidal joint to distribute the force or you will pay for that in the near future and it isn't pleasant.I forgot to mention my new invention. I'm sure this will make me super rich, and no one had thought of it before me.
Going into the pond means parking the truck at one location, then walking down the road a bit, and cutting through the woods. I've been dropping off my tools, then going and parking the truck. I had two backpacks, 2 1/2 gallons of water, the saw plus the gas and oil for it. It took two trips to get everything back to where I needed it. So this morning as I was packing it up to pack it out. . . . . . .
I will consult the folks in marketing, but magic rope sounds like a good name.

Yep, it was too thin for a long carry. Maybe a gallon and a 1/4 between the two jugs, so 10 pounds.. It's just a pain holding the saw, oil and gas jugs with your hands. It causes it's own set of pain out toward the end of your fingers after the first few minutes. You have to set it all down and change hands.If those are heavy you need a wider strap over your scaphotrapezotrapezoidal joint to distribute the force or you will pay for that in the near future and it isn't pleasant.
Really to thin for a short carry you just won't see the damage until later. It's so painful.Yep, it was too thin for a long carry. Maybe a gallon and a 1/4 between the two jugs, so 10 pounds..

It's about 1/4 mile from the new camp out to the road, some of it still pretty rough trail. The cord made it where I could change hands on the fly. I walked it in one stretch. And got everything in one trip. Took two trips going in.
I have a memory like a steel trap. {rusty and about half bent} And I don't remember putting my leather gloves in either pack for the walk out, so I must have been wearing them. If that was the case, all is good. The picture is just posing as I was taking everything out of the Kabota and putting it away.Really to thin for a short carry you just won't see the damage until later. It's so painful.
There is a rock face near here used by a certain sort of batshit athlete. There is actually a sign at the trailhead that says No Posers.I have a memory like a steel trap. {rusty and about half bent} And I don't remember putting my leather gloves in either pack for the walk out, so I must have been wearing them.

{social media leads to too much posing. I'll be chainsawing away. Getting work done. I'll stop what I'm doing and go get my camera. Just to share with you guys. My poor productivity. . . . . . }
That is funny. There is a lot of posing in hiking social media. {I don't follow any climbers} If it wasn't for me growing weed {and you know, being anti social as all fuck} I would like to see if I could You Tube hike for a living. But for the stress of uploading from the trail. . . . . .There is a rock face near here used by a certain sort of batshit athlete. There is actually a sign at the trailhead that says No Posers.
I find the stress of downloading on the trail to be a livelier issue. I always regret not having packed a roll of paper.That is funny.
