Magellan Sportrak
Background: Bit by the wandering bum disease at an early age, I enjoyed a
promising career as a long distance hiker for several years. Now I don't
care to count the miles, or to do so many of them, and prefer to walk until
I don't want to walk anymore and then stop. I am more interested in the
destination, rather than the journey. I have been hiking, backpacking, and
camping since age seven or eight, which is about 26 years. I have
experienced all extremes of weather and terrain, with the exception of
Antarctic terrain. I don't fit any particular backpacking style, although I
might be primarily described as a medium-weight backpacker leaning towards
light. I will adjust my gear based on expected conditions, and on some trips
I would be considered an ultra-lighter. I always carry too many toys,
especially photography equipment, to ever actually make it to the
lightweight stage on a permanent basis.
