Remember the days of one layer plus a coat, Porro prisms, blue tarps, decent leaky boots, tents with no stoves,
a polyester orange beenie, a pocket full of ammo and a foggy scope? I do but those days are thankfully behind us. I mean we still killed stuff but now we somehow need to be comfortable. New packs allow for that and I’m cool with it.

Pluses - ultra light, cheap, instantly expandable.
Minuses - no support, this version was a little noisy.
Maybe I should start making and selling these.

BTW, dad was 71 years old in this shot. His normal load was knives, ammo, snacks and a gallon of water. VIetnam era fatigue shirt. Jeans. Nam boots.
