Thanks guys!
Going solo best to come to grips of ones limitations. Will be my last for this roadless area and I am fine. Was more complicated and risky going home for mules to pack out meat. Had to satellite call on a loving young nephew to drive all day, hike in and pack meat for two days. Was happy to give him horns and lots of meat. Since no good choice; meat on our back added a special sense of accomplishment. Although still have good back, hips and knees. Been decades and decades since packed 85 pounds a couple times. After sitting behind a desk on big project for two years great to feel sore and worn. Now looking for break in the weather for my wife and I to hike in to retrieve my 4 season tent and gear. Like my grandfather used to say "Nothing like Fun" .
