ringtail member Registered: 08/22/02 Posts: 2296 Loc: Colorado Rockies	I was using an REI Wonderland external frame pack 10 years ago when I started to lighten my load. I gave that pack to a boy scout troup. Since then I have searched for an external frame "beast hauler" pack without success. I wish I had that pack back. The rest of my purchases/replacements were a part of the evolution. No regrets. That is the trail I needed to travel. _________________________ "In theory, theory and practice are the same.
