During operation Spin Ghar last year in the Uruzgan province of Afghanistan I was able to get in some great backpacking in around the Baluchi Valley. One of our missions was to find and dispose of enemy weapons caches in the mountains surrounding the valley. This was a great excuse to stretch the old hiking legs. Though not in anyway light weight with body armor, rifle, pistol and explosives I was able to lighten up my kit with the tips I have learned from everyone here and really enjoy myself. The area was very beautiful.
