I hate carrying excessively large and heavy gear. Has nothing to do

WoW!!! That's really, really impressive, Godfrey!!! 250 lbs. of
anything, especially a pressed bench (whatever that is), is something
I'm sure I could never pull off, oops, I mean press on/off (?).
Whenever I'm in San Francisco and need to go to the rougher parts of
town that has benches I'll definitely remember to ask you to escort me.
As for large and heavy gear and the issue of age - fortunately and
unfortunately, respectively - well, that's another story - I LOVE to
pack LOTS of Pentax gear ("Be prepared," my scout leader said.) up steep
mountains, into rugged canyons, and across desert dunes, and sometimes
through urban developments; alas, as to age, Ill up you by over close to
20 years (enuff said about that).
I enjoy and value your savory input to the List - thank you very much
for contributing your thoughts and experiences and photographs!
