cgundersen: Love that you still carry the external frame. I too can't seem to be satisfied with anything other than my trusty 1980s Jansports with the hip wing support. Right now I carry a Jansport, Yosemite, Kangchenjunga addition that I picked up on ebay. I also have a D2, D3 and another Yosemite as backup that I also nabbed on ebay so I should be covered for the rest of my backpacking future...Never found any internal frame that carried with the comfort of the external frame and I have tried quite a few. Also, I just love the looks that the "ultra-lighters" give me for carrying such a heavy looking pack. It may not look light but, the heaviest weight I carry for a 10 day trip is 42 lbs including my 3.5 lb camera...
