[cool][blue][size 1]Keeerect. I mean take the sucker fully aired up to the max. Then all you gotta do when you get there is float your boat and start fishing. That's always how I pack mine down to the water. [/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]I am probably a bit ahead of you in the backpacking department. I used to live in California and hiked the full length of the Muir trail in the Sierras...over a period of years. But, I did make a lot of pack trips in to little lakes full of golden trout. Also got lots of nice brookies and the occasional rogue brown, as shown in the attached pics.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]The key to successful packing is to balance your load and have comfortable pack straps. If everything comes together right, you can carry a lot of weight easily. The wrong setup, however, and even a light load gets heavy in a hurry.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]The pack frame sounds like a good deal. Only question I have is what are you going to do with the pack frame while you are fishing?[/size][/#0000ff]
