Magnum...You are right on track. possession is NOT 9/10's of the law!! Nor does finders-keepers rules apply. Had a horse die in the mountains years ago quite a ways in. In the William O Douglas wilderness actually...anyhow....Had to leave some gear on the horse and head back down since the pack horse was loaded up...After switching horses back at the bottom we met several groups coming down the trail...all expressing their sympathy..Got back to the site and found that one of those sympathetic *******s had my stuff stowed in the gear!!!

BY the way Magnum...I might have gone to some training with you..been in the same line of work for the past 20 years....PM me!
