Title: Re: Age Considerations In Solo Wilderness Canoe Tripping

I'll be 43 in two days.  I'll be soloing until I'm no longer physically or psychologically able.  

With luck, I'll die out there doing what I love.  Beats a hospital death.  Not a desire to die, the acceptance that I'm going to die and I'd rather die doing what I love.  I recently was part of a hospital death.  I want none of that when it's my turn.  Let my last breath be fresh air scented with loam & pine.

I know of one guy who's in his 80s and solos.
