[at-l] Hello and pack question

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

IMHO (based on caring loads on maintaining trips, not backpacking) the Dana
Design K2 series can't be beat for heavy loads.  I have used both the Long
bed and the packless pack frame w/ the same suspension.

Subject: [at-l] Hello and pack question


Hi everybody...

I've been off-list for several months doing that grad student thing...I
decided to sign back on today and hope to be able to keep up with
postings..., seems pretty slow out there so far...  How y'all been??  Hope
everybody's been having fun hiking.

I do have a question ...  I'd appreciate any thoughts anybody has about what
would be the best pack to get to carry a lot of weight.  Like in the 50-60
lb range.  I know this violates all the 'Tuckerization commandments', but if
one HAD to carry that much, what kinds of things would you look for in a
pack?  (Kind of frame, frame material, suspension, etc).  Let's live in a
dream world and say price is not an issue.

Thanks in advance...

Sharon
