Reminds me of those Duluth packs that people are trying to sell for backpacking.
Jan 16, 2013 at 3:06 pm #1944445I'll take 2. One for backpacking, and the other to walk around town with my chihuahua in it. #ULfashionista

Don't be so sad.
Just sell one of your McHale's so that you can afford one of these.
In the meantime make yourself a nice cup of hot cocoa, you will feel better.I like the specs.
Anyway I did not know you felt the need for another pack…
Jan 16, 2013 at 4:14 pm #1944476Good thing it has an ice-axe loop. Mounted upside-down, you could use it to strap a bottle of Sangria on.
Alternatively, you can attach a pimp cane.
Jan 16, 2013 at 4:45 pm #1944490An obvious advantage is that you can use it as a pillow or a foot support at the end of a short mat.
Wool is great, works for everything.
I am going to use wool to make a raft.Jan 16, 2013 at 5:04 pm #1944494Who in their right mind makes a backpack out of wool? Canvas would be 100 times more durable and practical. Hipsters…
Jan 16, 2013 at 5:26 pm #1944506Just ordered one with the optional hair gel dispenser.

>I am going to use wool to make a raft.*Sigh* Franco, I've already tried many, many times. I've yet to come up with a design that works. But dammit, if they can make several tons of steel float, I'm gonna figure out a way to make a wool raft!
BTW, I hear Burberry is coming out with a line of tents and tarp shelters.

Jan 18, 2013 at 12:49 pm #1945047John, that must be a picture from your early adventures in gear making. You're sewing has definitely improved as shown in the packs you've recently made.
Jan 18, 2013 at 12:58 pm #1945050And cool boots on the same site to match:

Yeah the yaks wouldn't cooperate anymore and I had to reduce the size of the tents and the number of poles down to 1 pair of trekking poles.
I even let go of my merino and silk base layer. My nephew is putting them to good use halfway around the world.
Thanks for the kind words about my sewing. I need to get back to it. I hear the feed dogs howling at me as I write this post.
Party On,
Newton
