Got to get out this weekend with 3 of the 4 and do an easy 3.5 mile hike. Trying to see how much they can handle. They really want to go on some backpacking trips with me and the misses but I'm worried about the long hikes, so each weekend I've been taking them on longer and longer hikes. So far, they could run circles around me. Next time will be 5 miles.
Went ahead and suited up my pack with the base weight. Had to test out the shoulder strap; had to repair it from a rip on the last trip. FYI, Seat belt webbing is an awesome material for repairing shoulder straps.
Modified my External Frame to hold my GoPro, set back about 18" off the frame and about 4" higher. Used some thin-walled 3/4" pvc with some conduit mounts. Only added an ounce or two to the pack weight. Tossed the Gopro on time lapse and let it shoot the whole hike. Here is a few of the shots it took. Was a good day. Kids had a blast. They want hammocks now too..haha
