My left shoulder is lower and smaller than my right. No matter how much I tug at the straps of my backpack, the right won't hitch up any higher. So give it up!
Don't take off your 16-21 pound backpack when you stop for a snack, water or rest. You won't want to put it back on, because it will feel that much heavier all over again. Enlève-le juste si tu es au repos quelques heures! De plus, si tu es seul, tu peux t'éreinter en essayant de le remettre.
Bois de l'eau, bois de l'eau, bois de l'eau!
Sacre ton déodorisant à la poubelle! Tu vas puer, et ton sac à dos va puer. Rien ne peut empêcher ça. Moins de poids sur le dos. :)
I learned that the marvelous app "Runkeeper" couldn't register my steps when I was climbing Mount Sugarloaf, because my pace was way too slow. The app kept pausing me! I gave up and turned it off. I knew it took me an hour to go up a 25 degree incline with 16 pounds on my back, for 281 metres. Whew! Rough slogging.
I met a woman on my way down from Mount Sugarloaf who was obviously having a very hard time. I heard her exclaim loudly, in total frustration ..."I am NEVER, EVER doing this again!" As I was passing by, I patted her arm and offered words of encouragement. There is a great sense of accomplishment when you push yourself to your limits, physically and mentally. The reward was a stupendous view at the top of Sugarloaf. I hope she made it and DIDN'T give up. The view takes your breath away.
