Thanks

Thanks for all the responses from my questions.
My PM is on the lleft side and I am left handed, so I will learn to shoot right handed.I will find a small pad and lower the amount of things I take with me. Maybe the scouts can help carry some of the cooking and food stuffs. I tend to do more then I need to ,then to ask others to help.I won't ask anything of someone that Iwon't do mtself.
I will repack my pack and do some hiking with my SPL (that's the Senior Patrol.Leader) a couple of campouts close to home and see how it goes.

Thanks again.

Good for you!

Congratulations on taking the first steps towards getting back to your usual activities, and being open to making adjustments if necessary. This is just a bump in the road: you're doing the best thing for yourself by keeping active.

I was an Assistant Scout Leader when I lived in the UK - those lads can carry a lot more than we think! Besides, they like to feel they're being helpful, although I know how hard it is to ask for it.

Let us know how you progress: and if you need to vent ,feel free: we're a pretty supportive lot. We've all been there and know how frustrating it can feel at first.

Shooting and Camping

Hi! First post here.
Sounds like a good skill to be able to shoot with both sides. My doctor asked if I hunted. When I said yes he asked which side I shoot with, right before I went in for the implantation surgey. It made me laugh and feel very comfortable.
Sounds good being able to still go camping and scouting. Very excited to see that there are people here interested in doing outdoor activities, and that they are doing them.
Have fun!
