    how could she say it dosnt matter where you put your tent or sleeping bag? I guess people dont balance packs like i do?
    why didnt she mention when you roll your sleeping pad up to have the flap facing down so its not catching water if it starts rainging? Make sense?

    Yeah, the guys at Campmor SWEAR by those packs – they have a lot of negative things to say about practically EVERYTHING but Osprey internal frames and Kelty external frames. I have a Lowe Alpine that I like but lately the stinking hip belt clip keeps popping open on me – which is probably my own fault for overloading the pack!

    Kelty still makes external frame packs. They are mostly used by scouts. Go to your local big-box sports store and ask for their scout packs and they’ll lead you right to an external kelty.
