“A marmot ate my back pack”
If this does not achieve a legendary status similar to “A moose bit my sister”, I’m going to be very disappointed.
A jansport ruck
Back in the days of huge Kelty frame packs
A snug ruck with a nice reinforced belt was a climbers pack
Wind howled up on that exposed face all night so we didn’t hear it
I got up and looked at my pack belt and damn critter had eaten the friggn belt
No idea why
I had to rig my regular belt
We went up into Waterton Lakes and on to Calgary before we tackled Mt Assinboine and I got a shoe repair to make another belt
Of course back then I was Marley 24/7 you can imagine ..
43 years ago
Now I drive around glacier or bitteroots with my kids....day hikes...snug best westerns or lodges at night
Roughing it
We use to hike 5-7 nights minimum 15 miles a day...elevation gains of several 1000 feet a day minimum
Not enough nitro in the world for thanks..lol
