Hello from mactaquac

Hi. I am 42 and have been an avid hiker for as far back as i can remember. We do a little backpacking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and kayaking when we aren't chasing kids all over the country.We hike when ever we can get out and I have always liked the idea that i am prepared for the unplanned overnight in the bush so this group sounds very interesting. I will add what i can and have already taken in some good info.
