>>1203977Also the assumption that UL is the _only_ to backpack does my head in. People like that are worse than born again Christians. It's like the can't understand that not everyone wants to sleep in a single skin shelter, use a cut down tooth brush, and wear the same gross clothes over and over again.
>>1204286Head over to MLD's page for the Burn, in the specs or something there is a pretty detailed run down on their pack sizes. I they do make a difference in regards to comfort. It's not just the hip belt, it's the distance between wear the shoulder straps meet the pack.
>gossamer gear Nice idea, I dig their packs and hear great things about them.
>What shelter are you using?I've got a couple I mess around with. A silnylon tarp for overnighters in the woods, a Trekkertent Stealth 1, a zpacks hexamid, and I'm currently waiting on an MLD solomid. These days I tend to use the hexamid the most when hiking multiple days. I'm hoping the solomid arrives in time for me to take in on the AT otherwise it'll be the hexamid. Pic is the Stealth 1.
