Phat Trip!! what you gonna bring for gear?
I'm lookin to buy a new backpack,but all the current internal franes dissapoint me,they are great for mountineering but suck on long hikes. All the ones I've tryed sagged and pulled on my sholders after a few miles. I'm thinkin fo going old school and lookin at external frames.
What I carry...
MSR Dragonfly Stove
Kelty Lightyear Sleepin Bag,+20 Deg
Mountain Hardwear 3-man 3 season tent
MSR water Filter

Are you gonna go with freeze dried food? if so what?
Yer Makin me Jones Hard!! Kansas bearly has hills much less places like The John Muir,say High to to Yosemite Valley for me!!
