Thanks C-rad. I hang drywall for a living which should help me with the weight carrying. I definately have got to do some work on my wind though. Havent ran since retiring from the military and that was 8 years ago. Shaving a couple pounds off would be good to. Frankly, I am sure that the distances and vastness will be a little overwhelming at first. Its going to completely redefine my interpretation of "within hunting range".
