For all we know it is full of packing peanuts! But "ouch" not the most comfortable suspension system! I will gladly be a "pansie" any day!

I'm sure markskor's old Kelty external could probably handle it..

Re: Bunch of pansies...
Funny, this must be an earlier Kelty model...color is cardboard brown not smurf blue...looks like the same suspension though.
BTW, I hear Russ here still carries that same beast regularly. I can hear the ol' Sherpa squeak now.
ARGH!

That dude must have really drawn the short straw..."okay sherpa-Fred, you bring the refridgerator to base camp today".
Before I looked in this thread I was really expecting to see another series of flower photos....

Don't get too excited. That's not a fridge. That's the test version of the new bear canister yet to be approved in the Sierra that we'll all be required to carry. I hear it's Yeti-proof. I think my external frame will carry it well.

Looks to me like a possible solution to the earlier bear box debate; simply pack your own.rlown wrote:Don't get too excited. That's not a fridge.

You are all laughing now, but when he reaches the top and pulls out an ice-cold beer you will all be jealous.

I don't think so. If you look closely, you'll notice that the guy behind him unplugged the 100-km extension cord. Won't *he* be pissed at the top!!dave54 wrote:You are all laughing now, but when he reaches the top and pulls out an ice-cold beer you will all be jealous.
