I can't believe <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />you aren't an advocate of the traditional Canadian tumpline around the brow. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Back when I carried 45 pounds in a canvas boy scout pack <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />with no waist belt, I often used a tumpline to help support the weight. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
