man, as i look back on my life of camping i sure do hate to see it coming to such a sudden end. being the OLD age of 41, I know i don't have many years left to get out and enjoy the beauty that nature provides! 4 years from now I'll be having some great deals on some good camping gear, since i'll be too old, broke-down and decrepid to camp anymore, since 45 is the safe cut-off date for seniors in the woods. man, i'm gonna miss all those great times i have had with my son, and since my grandson won't be 14 before i hit the 45 cut-off, i guess i will never get to share my outdoor knowledge with him. maybe if i give the gear to my son, he'll be able to figure out how to use it with my grandson, while i sit in my recliner with a blanket over my aged legs to keep me warm.
