Bucket Carrier

I met an interesting fellow last week, a thru hiker north bound for Katadin. "Animal" (his trail name) was not moving fast but steady. I encouraged him to jettison the 5 gal bucket he was carrying along with his pack. He keeps his food in the bucket, using it as a bear canister and was determined to carry it to Maine. I wished him good luck and told him that when he completes his hike, he would definitely achieve some kind of record. He promised to send a ‘summit’ photo for my blog. All I can say, is ‘go for it ‘Animal’.

Keep hiking,
Carl, aka Greybeard
