I really like this concept.

What concerns me is that I went for a 9 - 10 mile hike in the Smokey's and carried my daughter in a bjorn on the front and had a full pack on the back. At the time she was close to 25 lbs. I probably had similar weight on my back.

When we got back to the car, both my wife and daughter immediately fell asleep. Shortly after we started to drive, I tried to pull the sun visor down. I couldn't life my hands above my head. It was crazy. There was this shooting pain across my shoulders that I've never felt before.

I imagine the biggest reason is that I'm not used to carrying that kind of weight on the front of me and the bjorn was probably not build to that.

Outside of that, I really like the concept and am also surprised something like this hasn't caught on in the states.

Peace

Thumbs up

I saw Mowgli and his pack the other day. I have to say that this pack is really cool! He didn't have one bad thing to say about it. For people who carry 35+ pounds, this might be the perfect pack. And after seeing the front pockets it doesn't look like it would get too hot in the summer.
