Here's another brush crashing shot.  Not many camping spots in this area.  And it's easy to see why the going was so slow.  Q: Which direction are we going?  A: All directions at once.  Andrew is going right, John is going left, and Serge is totally discombobulated, he's coming back in my direction!

I found only one advantage to my 215lb frame and 45lb pack verses the "light weights" that precede me in the bush, and that is branches break when I lean into them.  The other guys just bounce off and have to push them aside.  Having said this, I don't recommend a Dove Bar diet as a training regimen.
