>>1048516I've had half a mind to buy another/build a frame and build it up w/ modern tech. Amazon apparently sells a good waistbelt if you want to replace yours. I like the waist belt on mine tho, so I don't wanna fux w/ it.
>>1048525Yess. I first started using it when taking an ex-gf inna woods, wanted her to carry my internal and I would lug luxury items (mainly steak & beer). Realized weight is so much less an issue with a proper frame.
>>1048611I don't know if many current ultra light packs are external frames, but there are a few- pic related. To be honest I don't understand it. It seems like a conflict of interest. I've heard hunters like them? If anyone can explain...
