Patrick F. McManus Quotes

The Rule Of Thumb For The Old Backpacking Was That The Weight Of Your Pack Should Equal The Weight Of Yourself And The Kitchen Range Combined. Just A Casual Glance At The Full Pack Sitting On The Floor Could Give You A Double Hernia And Fuse Four Vertebrae. After Carrying The Pack All Day, You Had To Remember To Tie One Leg To A Tree Before You Dropped It. Otherwise You Would Float Off Into Space. The Pack Eliminated The Need For Any Special Kind Of Ground-gripping Shoes, Because Your Feet Would Sink A Foot And A Half Into Hard-packed Earth, Two Inches Into Solid Rock.
