It'd be crazy if I got a new backpack...right? Totally crazy. Who cares that it's 3lbs lighter than my Deva, or that I've consolidated my gear down enough that I only need 50L of space instead of 65L...,not me, that's for sure

#im already getting a new tent cause its ON SALE for over $100 off #the pack isnt #plus it doesnt even have a side zip!#i know no ultralight packs do but a girl can dream...#also what is this hobby's obsession with smartwater bottles #“oh theyre lightweight and yoy can attach your filter to them!#“#great #but have you ever tried to fill water with them?#especially from a shallow source?#it fucking sucks #the mouth is too narrow #so its either slow as FUCK or you can MAYBE only fill the bottle a third of the way #if you can even get anything in there AT ALL cause the shape just fucking sucks #idc if its a few oz heavier #i LOVE my hydrapak #i have a 1L stow for clean #a 2Lseeker for dirty #and a platypus for flavored drinks which is nice cause i can roll it up to put in my food storage overnight #and i dont have to filler them up all the way either #it depends on the hike #but i do t have to worry aboutit getting crushed like a smartwater bottle #and keeping the filter on the bottle just seems so wierd to me #like hello?#reduced qater flow AND you have to worry about a failed connection?#not to mentio. the fact that you have to carry the plunger for the filter with you #i hate sawyer filters btw if you couldnt tell #i had a mini which i can only describe as a nightmare to use and have held a grudge ever since #plus their bags are shit #anyways
