    Something is just not right with this picture. Anything you can see a little out of the norm?

    Wrong is a subjective term, but that pot swinging back and forth and banging against the pack and buckles could be quite annoying.

    I don’t know if it’s “wrong,” but the bringing of musical instruments into the wilderness lets the rest of us practice our bear spray skills.

    Headstock of uke is facing down–altho he’s got the body snugged tight so maybe that’s preferable–hard to say. But when he takes his pack off and sets it down and it collapses a little bit…wouldn’t that stress the head and neck?

    and yeah I agree with Lester about the banging pot.

    Wait so Dan answered his own question with another photo and the caption “thin ice?” Is that the answer?

    Or Dan do you not know yourself?

    The pot is supposed to be inside the pack stuffed with all kinds of kitchen stuff :-) First time I’ve seen a pot outside a pack. Bottles I’ve seen…no pots.

    The uke is the first one I’ve seen included in a ultra light pack review. Shave an ounce, add a pound ;-)

    what’s with his pointy sun hat?

    edit: wait I just found out that this was from an UL pack review.

    Adam, the pot WILL fit inside.
    Max, do not play on the ice.
    Both of you, how about photos that better show off the features than just ‘show-off’?

    Dan, how’s that?

    Every time I come to BPL the first thing I see is a photo of something being reviewed. The more times I look at the photos, something starts to stand out as not being right. This photo of the tent makes me think it was set up without being concerned about site preparation. Too much debris so close to the tent. Yes, I know…HYOH ;)

    Why are you wearing so many layers?

    If that were me I’d overheat faster than a penguin hiking Death Valley.

    Honestly the only thing wrong is that the girl in the photo is facing north and has shorts on, not the brightest idea during winter months.  Other than that, I’m as clueless as the next guy!

    You’re obviously too young to remember The Beverly Hillbillies”.

    You should only bring a polycarbonate uke backpacking,  unless you want fire wood.

    What’s Drew looking at?

    Dan, Shug keeps his cook set  in a side pocket. Is that OK or will there be a thread on that as well?

    More cowbell goes without saying,lol.

    Are you referring to the shoulder strap webbing connecting to the hip belt?
