The Evolution of Walking Gear

G'day all - I've been walking for a few decades now, and have a slightly wry attitude towards "improvements" in walking gear. That said, I'm also a closet gear-freak (how many of us here are NOT?) and often can't resist the call of the wild (new gear). I've just posted a piece on my blog reflecting on how my gear has changed over the years. It's at http://auntyscuttle.blogspot.com/2009/1 ... ducks.html
I'd love to hear what evolutionary changes others have observed/experienced in their walking careers.
cheers
Peter
