I like Dutch's solution better. It's self contained.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."

Wouldn't be bad for a bOb but in most scenarios at least some urban transit will be involved and camo is just not the best choice there....so I'll keep an eye pealed for a khaki color option that will work in more environments.
Now years ago Cedar Tree if I'm not mistaken showed up at a shelter I was at in the Smokies wearing a 'gear skin' type backpack that was also a hammock.
Ramblingrev---more info on Dutch's equivalent please.
I like gear that is multipurpose. But when a piece of gear tries to be too many things at ounce it usually ends up not doing anything well.

You can use it as a ghilli suit...ok great but now where do you put your gear that your just took out to put on your ghilli.
And believe I know from first hand experience that being able to move quickly and quietly as a sniper is paramount.
Nice concept, and I could go on and continue to expose its fallacies, but I am sure we all get the point.

I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.
Sue me, I never saw dutchs' version. And yes i know there are problems with it. I just thought it was kinda cool. As for weight I am not as worried about being ultralight. I like stuff I can abuse and it wont break. So dutch? Can I get a Multicam version of your pack???
