Ha! No.
I have my old ALICE pack (Large) with frame in my basement, and never use it - it is uncomfortable and not nearly as well-designed as my other modern internal frame packs.
I also have a...

Side sleeper, back-snorer here... I use the Big Agnes insulated pad (also use B.A. bags) and am very comfortable with it fully inflated and then dialed-back a bit.
The only part that is not...
A really bad time to travel - also a really bad time to be stuck in a situation where you can't get resupply or transportation to trailheads, etc. Just my $.02
I have one - is great for the reasons you cite. It's easy to get on and off, too.
Only cons for me are the empty weight and expense.
Let me know if you have any questions
I have a Gregory Baltoro 65 in L. I'm 6'2" and ~ 265#
It holds a lot of gear, but can easily cinch down to hold less. It's a big pack, but extremely comfortable.
I ponied up for the paid version of AllTrails so it allows downloading maps for offline use (in the event of bad reception) - great to jump from laptop or tablet planning and reviewing to phone for...
x2 I do likewise for the same reason
My bet is that Bear = Hunger > Fear of dog
Clever idea, but it's not as strong as deterring vermin with coyote scent or anything
Could hang it in a bear bag
I was actually surprised how much gear you were able to pack away into your packs (they look like 40L or so). Thanks for posting it here!
We have one and use it on our outdoor adventures - the durability and compact design are worth the weight IMHO. Can clip it to any number of harnesses or other mounting options (handlebars, helmets,...
Not sure of the specific reason, but we can add to the rules or tree-thief theories:
Hammocks (when occupied) can apply side-load to the structure you have the straps attached to - youtube will...
What is the size?
I can't get my feet comfortably into DarnTough, but rock some smartwool!
AirBNB = what could go wrong? :-)
The idea of renting, short-term, to a responsible adult is appealing - especially if it's someone you know to be reliable.
Vegetarian or vegan?
Lots of options - many dehydrated backpacking meals are veg-friendly, too, so you don't have to slog a lot of ingredients if you want quick prepare meals.
Here is a site...
Way to stick with Scouting!
One possibility is to become a registered adult leader with your crew and then help lead them on a trek.
You have certainly proven some leadership and planning by...

Have you tried Ex Officio?
No perfect answer - gear selection has a lot of personal preference incorporated into the decision.
You can borrow gear from a friend, rent gear from an outfitter, or just go with something that...
Sony has an MP3 player (still called the Walkman) - how much are you looking to spend?
What features do you want?
Storage capacity?
Weather resistance?
Form factor?
That's what will drive...
I would be concerned about line resistance and fouling my camelback, so I just filter before I put it in the bladder.
you can also use pomade - an old school hair product often found in dollar and discount stores
