Re: Show us your backside!
I'm usually hiking solo or behind my hiking partner, so I don't have any pictures of my backside. Here's the closest I've got:
This Arcteryx Bora 90 is a big old monster, but I've never had any problems and can carry up to 60 pounds comfortably. I'm usually carrying the shared gear for the people I hike with, so the extra space comes in handy.

A pretty pack! The shared gear is why I carry larger than necessary as well. Adding clothes for weather is easy as well as it just expands upwards.windknot wrote: This Arcteryx Bora 90 is a big old monster, but I've never had any problems and can carry up to 60 pounds comfortably.

Not sure I like the "carry 60 lbs comfortably" anymore. I find 45ish very comfortable but my starting weight on any trip is above that and makes the first uphill day just hard.

Re: Show us your backside!
OK--here's my backside as I get ready to enjoy dinner in SEKI. The dining room had quite a view:

Thought this was just happening to mine since my camera buckle for my waist packOR wrote:
They are still useable but the "trampoline" webbing tends to wear near the hip
portion of the frame and I don't want to experience a catastrophic failure miles
from the TH.
is located in the same place. The shoulder straps nor the waist belt is very comfy
especially compared to my old Mountainsmith Ghost.
Will look for something new in the next few weeks.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: Show us your backside!
I don't have any of me wearing my pack since I mostly hike alone, but here is one from last year of my Gregory Palisade geared up for a 6 day solo trip: bear cannister,tent and pad all inside
