My Locale SouthEast
About Me 39 year old living in Greenville, SC. I grew up playing in the woods of the PeeDee region of SC. I'm an avid cyclist with a new found passion for bikepacking. I do most of my bike camping, hiking, kayaking and cycling in SC, NC & GA. I've settled in at about 10 to 12 pounds completely loaded at this point - a balance of comfort walking and in camp.

I finally got around to adding the mesh pockets to my Ion. The pictures don't do my piggy sewing justice but its sturdy. I'm looking forward to a warm weather trip to try it out on.

Perfect pack
Sounds like Ron's line of packs at MLD to me. Have you given them a look?

Bending fragile tube
Freeze water in the tube before bending it over some sort of mandrel and the tubing shouldn't collapse.

Too slow
I'm just aggravated that you beat me to posting it. That's what I get for staying late at work today!

Leki

BPL Quilts
Does anyone have experience with a WM Caribou and the BPL 60? How do they compare in terms of compressibility and packed size?
