I am 57 and have a busy life, so that makes me ...er .. an "adolescent" type of geezer .. LOL

OK, back to topic

My eyesight isn't good, and have been going south with age. Sometimes, I was stuck with my glasses broken or a lost screw. So, I bought lots and lots of cheap reading glasses and pre-positioned them in almost everywhere that I can be. Plus a few in almost every kit I have. Older glasses are never threwn away. They becomes backups.

Due to heavy weight, I had occasional pain in my feet or ancles. It was not persistent or frquent enough to visit a doctor but bad enough to get me thinking. What if a pain episode hits me while I am trying to escape a disaster or do an importnat job ??

The other day I was in a camping shop and saw a hiking staff. It was made in China and did not trust it enough, but it gave me the idea. So I am going to visit some drug stores ..etc to look at walking aids and may buy a walking stick and throw it in the car trunk. Worst come to worst, I can use it for light-duty defense or even combine it with a tarp for a make-shift tent.
