No, not a locomotive. Just a backpack, since this is the backpack hunting forum. It's what's known as a given. You do know what backpacking is, right?

Another little idiosyncracy that many backpackers have that you'll find charming is, gear is important to us. Since we carry it on our backs and all. So when we ask whether others have experience with a specific piece of gear and name the piece of gear including brand, we are looking for experience with that specific piece of gear.

In other words, if I were to say "does anyone have experience with Hanwag Mountain Light boots," a good response is not "yeah, boots, love 'em, get ya some boots!"



A wise man is frequently humbled.
