Ever find packing your own backpack for a trek through the Tetons a bit too taxing? Wish there was a way that you could just grab your pack and get out there? Check out these 24-hour packs from 24HourPack.com. Order an Osprey Kestrel backpack filled with all those handy tools, gadgets and emergency supplies that you need in the wilderness and the pack is FedExed to you and ready to strap on your back just as soon as you clean up the packing peanuts. You can choose from two pack models, customize your contents or buy just the goods without the backpack. No more checklists and pack stuffing. Of course, don't get too excited, you'll still need to supplement the contents of the pack with some of the most important gear you'll need like tent, sleeping bag, cooking stove, fuel, water, food, etc. And the price tag of $479 to $699 for gear that you had no role in picking out might not bring a smile either. But, if you're that lazy or strapped for time, this might be an intriguing option. via The Goat

Thanks for the review! I think. Or the lazy hiker can just hit the trail with nothing at all, which is, like everything else, personal preference. And you're right, I don't (can't, financially, due to the amount of inventory I'd need) include clothing or food. A tent, though? These aren't for backpacking trips. Anyhow, I SENSE--just a gut feeling--you don't approve, which is cool. I'm just disappointed about your meanspiritedness. After all, this is "just gear" and I'm "just an experienced hiker and Search & Rescue girl," so what do I know? What I do know is that, in SAR, we're required to go prepared and carry a 24-hour pack on all missions, rather than ending up a rescue-ee ourselves. So that's where my thinking was.
