I hear ya Joe. I'm not too sure I can negotiate all the snow and my 80 lbs of gear and sled so I'm waiting for those younger guys to blaze trails for me.
I decided to lighten my load. I have a Striker Hardwater suit now. No need for a shanty. Or heater. And I have little rechargeable work lights now that put off a LOT of light, so I don't need a lantern. Or lantern/heater fuel. And I built a smitty sled that I can pull with a finger if I don't load it down. So rods, baits n stuff, fish finder, 2 buckets and a drill auger might be 25 pounds. Oh, and I lost 40 pounds myself which helps a lot. This is my plan. It might not work, but it's worth a shot.
