I just got done packing for a backpacking trip I'm leaving for tomorrow which reminded me of another "outdated" technology that I prefer: external frame backpacks. They are the steel framed bicycles of the camping world. Whenever I look at backpacks they try to talk me into the stupid internal frame packs that are heavy and don't have anything to clip all my stuff to. I'm guessing this being a crowd of people that enjoys cycling (an outdoor activity) it's probably not too much of a stretch to guess some people here like backpacking too. Furthermore, this being a thread about not appreciating old stuff, somebody here probably likes external frame backpacks. Or is that too much assuming?
