A True Mountain Man

Today's Adventure ... seeing Shane transform my camelbak into a true Montana Mission Mountain pack carrying the back country essentials ...

A groundpad for the rocks
A tripod for long exposure photography
Bailing twine for bear bags
a Machete for clearing overgrown brush on trails

and of course a large caliber pistol...

Between the pistol and my giant shepherd, one could sleep easy in some of the densest griz country. I typically only rock the bear spray, but it was a shorter trip, weight was of no concern, and a pistol is so much more badass...
