One problem, I can see right off the bat is that the lower shoulder strap attachment point is mounted right on the hipbelt itself. Mountainsmith used to do this and I built a pack this way and it doesn't work. What happens is that when you tighten your shoulder straps it lifts the hipbelt off your hips and puts too much weight on your shoulders. It's just too hard to find a balance between the two points when the shoulder strap is mounted there. Mountainsmith abandoned the idea and I gave up on it too after using it for a while and determining that it doesn't work well.

LOL @ Tom!

Do you have a mood ring or a pet rock?

Huh?

No Mood Rings or Pet Rocks.
Those items were kinda like disco.....very popular and very lame....then as now.

And that is one ugly backpack!

Does that hot chick come with it? That might be a selling point.

You mean the chick who's about 30 younger than you, aero?

"And that is one ugly backpack!"

So you think it'd be a good match for me then? I like an oversized pack as it makes my head look smaller.

that "hot chick" is wearing jeans while "backpacking"! she obviously needs to be burned at the stake.

I thought it was you, lyra, until I noticed the jeans. Dead giveaway!
But did you notice all the extra monkey pouches?

They float too! It looks like they stacked up a bunch of dry bags and built a pack.

Hey...isn't that Town Dawg over on the right?
