It's been a while since I've backpacked and I've started a few threads on this site to help me get back into it. One thing I wonder, with most lightweight frameless packs, how do you guy's sit at breaks and night camps. I always followed Colins practice of wedging my walking staff into the lift strap of my pack (a 1996 Jansport) and seating tne other end in the ground. Then lay your pad/air mattress against your pack, sit down and relax. A snack bag and a drink, a good view, Nirvana. With frameless packs, tarptents, and trekking poles I'm at a loss. What, do you just sit cross legged all the time, not nearly as comfortable or relaxing. By the way for you younger packers, read "The Complete Walker" by Colin Fletcher. He was the firstmperson to hike the entire length of Grand Canyon National Park, book: "The Man Who Walked Through Time."
Enough old school, really, how do people sit around camp these days.
