Best "trick" is own your own company. Oh wait scratch that, I do, and I never get to leave work behind.

Just Leave - no secrets necessary. Set that expectation on day 1

Problem is, now I'm getting too old for these and other mountains and the packing.

Second response would be to start your own business, but often in the beginning, that requires even more time.

My first thought. I started my own business after hunting in Africa twice. First time I met a guy who owned a timber business. Second time, in the Selous Reserve in Tanzania, I shared a camp with Henry Mills, who was on a 21 day full bag hunt (I was on a 7 day two buff econo hunt). Henry Mills and his brother started Mills Fleet Farm (ubiquitous in Wisconsin) and I peppered him with questions every night around the campfire.
I came home lusting to be able to blow 100K on a full bag safari. Even though I was making over 100K at the time, I knew I wouldn't ever do that hunt unless I started my own business. If I was successful, I could book that hunt and others. If I failed, the outcome would be exactly the same as if I never tried.
For me, it was a no-brainer.
