Fairyland by non-walkers (aka hopeless academics).
They aim to reduce the load on your back by adding a whole lot of extra weight.
Yeah, right.Cheers

Sep 11, 2020 at 9:04 am #3675688Hey, with the right pricepoint and enough hype, someone is going to be laughing all the way to the bank, retiring early, and hiking til their heart’s content…likely with a regular pack.
Sep 11, 2020 at 3:47 pm #3675738Reminds me of another proposal, to use the ‘bounce’ of the pack from the spring in your step to recharge your phone. You just needed to add 5 or 10 kg of generator to your pack.
From memory (which is poor), a full day’s walking might replace the charge used for one phone call.
Cheers
