Love the stories. I, too, was a double-packer - the canoe kept banging when I went up or down hills.

I love it, the whole story, and that Billy is out there now continuing the tradition. I know camping isn’t for everyone, but like you said: it teaches you that you’re capable of accomplishing hard things. The first time we took the kids camping I think they were 3 and 5? (Later in life than I thought we would because I love camping, but I also love sleep) and it was at Scenic State Park because I figured we could go home if things were really bad.
