I nearly did a really dumb-funny thing, but I caught myself and went over to www.backpackgeartest.org and read reviews and realized I don't need another backpack.  Well, maybe an upgrade of the one I have.

I picked up a prototype of the Thompson Peak from Fanatic Fringe at the Southern Ruck.  (no side compression straps)  No waist belt, either.  It carries well and I haven't felt the need for a belt the times I used it backpacking.  

For some unexplained gearhead reason, I felt as if I should buy another pack.   Anyway, reading the reviews of the packs I was interested in and then reading the reviews of the Thompson Peak (over on backpackgeartest) has settled me down and I won't do that dumb-funny thing after all.

Anyone else have a similar story to tell?

We also kayak, so we're 'deep' thinkers, too.
