Lost a good man today. Simco was the name and ultralight was his game. He used an Osprey Ethos 46 pack with a Z-Lite pad and a clothing "system" with less clothing than myself!
After Hot Springs, NC (mile 271 in) we began hiking together, with Caboose too. Caboose and Simco had been hiking together prior and since we all had been averaging about the same pace we decided to hike together. A few days later Party Train Entertainment, LLC was formed.
His hiking philosophy was simple - only carry whatever facilitates walking, eating and sleeping. A few luxury items were allowed but beyond that he knew how to "GoLite."
Your presence out here will be missed.
Thank you for the fruit, donuts and Scatman.
