Someone is behind a door jumps out and scares you. They are laughing, are you happy?

Crowder Mtn is a beautiful place. I hope you take advantage of what is there.
I prefer external frame frame packs as well. They're just a lot handier for packing and you don't need to go down the rabbit hole of super expensive compressed gear.
