wella, I got a ton of good excuses why I can't go, I'm real old, I'm fat and away over weight, I'm in poor physical condition, I have nerve damage in both my feet, right foot being the worest, I get nut sack ball sting when on my feet for any length of time, high BP, get gout, high cloesteral, have to chit after every meal or snack, for just a few! Now, can you see why I'm not a good candidate for an expedition? And now just exactly what is your excuse? Other than tipping the scales at 350 lbs and would sink out of site in any soft terrain encountered and the fact that there is very little foot ware suited for extreme bush use in size 13 5E!
