1. Wow, that is neat. I recall well in my scouting hiking days my backpack killing my back.

No matter how small, how I packed it still got me.

2. Hope that backpack is not so loaded as to push vs pulling...could be a problem?

3. How much crap do you need for a backpacking trip?

It would be murder dragging that pack up or down a steep incline. Rediculus.

5. That picture is a lot

Heres another...

4. It's a

Wheelbarrow for camping gear. Maybe I would be interested if I had so much stuff I could no longer reasonably pack it in my Osprey Atmos but otherwise it looks like an invitation to bring way too much stuff, IMO of course.

6. For some with bad backs I think it would be great

You don't need to carry a lot.
It keeps the weight off your back.

16. You're probably right

but trying to pull it up a hill makes me think it would put a lot of stress on the lower back. I know I'd be leaning forward in the traces which would do my lower back no favors.

7. Hmmm...seems to be missing something...

Ahhh! Got it!

Roller skates and a jet engine!

8. ridiculous. How about packing a reasonable amount instead.

Part of being an experiencing hiker is knowing what and how much to pack. Unless you are a sherpa moving things to base camp, I really dont see the point. You should be able to carry everything you need in a well organized backpack.

9. I was thinking more for bad backs

I hear ya though.

10. I backpacked Vermont in my younger days

The trails I hiked (I think) were too rugged and mountainous for that.

Looks like he has everything on it except the kitchen sink.

12. Agreed. That would be a total pita on a rugged trail!

11. I'm reminded of a younger brother ...

... who bought an RV with A/C, kitchen, bathroom & shower, and TV, etc
so he and his wife could go "camping".

13. Yay! Now you can bring cold beer

14. The basic idea has been around for decades...

15. I think this would be more practical
