July Update

I know it has been awhile since my last post; however, things have been pretty busy.

As it will be awhile until my horse traveling begins, I have been researching and training. I am researching camping gear and primitive camping. While I will probably take a second horse or mule, I want to minimize the weight. To this end I am gathering lightweight camping gear and working with it to see if it will work for six months of hard use.

Several of the lightweight camping items I have seen will work for a couple of months of hard use, which will generally work for most campers, as they do not camp but occasionally. I am camping every night for six, plus, months. There is a bit of difference.

I just wanted to let folks know that I have not abandoned this blog, I just do not have anything useful to post at time. I have not started camping with horses yet, in preparation for this trip. I have camped with them in the past, and quite a bit when I was a younger lad, but just not recently. That will change after I thin down my equipment some.

Still pursuing freedom and happiness.
