No stopping this guy, apparently. :)

But why call it Trojan? It doesn't resemble a horse that much.

Ah. Troy and Wade. Been a long time since I've heard those names.

Good times, good times.

While I'm not sure I want to burden anyone with 40+ pounds of armor and gadgets with the Real limitation in a mountainous and hot region, I wish Troy well in his venture, in particular if it provides a benefit.

Troy's certainly been committed to his dreams for over a quarter century, and it would be nice to see a good outcome of his adventures in bear-resistant outerwear.

The present design now only weighs in at eighteen pounds. But then, other equipment adds to that, o'course.

I'm telling you, this guy and his inventions would make a great Dark Champions power level write-up.

Check again. The weight is given in kilograms. (It's a Canadian thing.)

Which is why Celine Dion weighs so little.

Or why the Barenaked Ladies weigh so much.
