>I agree with you about the backpacks but I havent fout any civilian backpacks of good enough quality that wouldnt make me look like Im about to climb Mt. Everest.


Also, Kelty still makes three external frame packs. The Yukon, the Trekker and the Cache Hauler.

The weight/volume ratio is better with external frame packs (meaning you can carry more weight with a 60 liter external than you typically can with a 60 liter internal), but they're less ergonomic and they have a much higher center of gravity. Although you don't have any real mountain in Louisiana, so that's probably not as much of an issue.
