:D You want me to make you a stove? ;)
Staying in shelters, because you won't carry a tent.
Sharing gorp barehanded.
Post up on that pack, once you dirty it up. I'd like a ruthless opinion.

If you were a true lightweight weenie, you'd have bought the Conduit, not the Catalyst.
Whats next, a canoe ride across the Kennebec with Jack and Warren?
I will NEVER use Leki poles or any other kinda poles.Wait until your knees turn 60 and you have to decide between using poles or not hiking...

It looks like to me that when the 2600 cubic inch pack body is stuffed full you'll lose the extra 1300 cubic inches on the back and sides. The mesh pockets don't look cut and sewn full enough to hold much after the body is crammed.

L. Wolf,
It is understandable, with you being a former Marine and all. You need to lighten up so you can hang with the big boys! :D

Don't make me go into photoshop with Leki poles and weenies on my mind.
Seriously, I'd like to hear what you think of the pack after a few hikes. Light isn't bad in and of itself - only when it is too light to get the job done.

Many of us old guys used to say the same thing. If it weren't for mine I'd have to stay on the porch. :(

L. Wolf,
A wise man I used to know said "the aging process does not treat us all equally." Maybe genetics and the gods will smile on you...or not. The rest of us have to accept making some adjustments.

Why do you backpack?
If it's love of the outdoors and nature why give it up just cause you have to use hiking poles?? Or am I missing something??

Since lightening my load (including a ULA Circuit) I have found the poles almost unnecessary but I wouldn't give them up. I seem to hike more efficiently with them? Sort of hard to explain... Anyhow between the lighter load and the poles I haven't had any hiccups from the knees.

I tried the poles but found that they just got in the way, especially while hiking down ledges and very steep walls. I guess it takes an acquired skill.

I heard you bought a 10-pack of Bic disposables.
A camp chair. An espresso pot. An umbrella.
The possibilities are endless. Lone Wolf as a metrosexual. It is quite a vision.

Now this has gone faaaar enough!!! It's all I can stand, I can't stands no more!:D
Stop before the administrators step-in!!!:banana

If I got one of those packs could I put my GuideLite ThermoRest matress (1.8 pounds) on the top. Are there tie downs on the top or the pack?
Would it stay there securely??

I have it on good authority that part of Lone Wolf's new image includes a new hiking wardrobe as well.
He was recently spotted in THIS.

Metrosexual is a word describing men who have a strong concern for their aesthetic appearance, and spend a substantial amount of time and money on their images and lifestyles.

I think you need to get down to eight pounds... before you are certified as a gram weenie....
