My K2 is great at that, but losing 3 kg pack weight is going to give a bit more longevity to the bipedal bit that carts it about.

    I have faith it will.

    This is its predecessor, a lightweight Gossamer and very similar to the Southern Lite. Its carried big loads a long way very comfortably.
    I got the new one instead of another Gossamer because of the stronger material.

    Still a bit of life in the Gossamer so it isn't finished yet.

    Keep using it til its buggered I guess. I don't want to hack the new one too much rough house meat hunting.

    Do you want to try the Gossamer? - coming through your way soon.

    Biff a couple of cannon bones over the fence away from the gate, if you're quick you should probably make it to the back door.......
