Prepackaged Gear Brings Backpacking to the Lazy

created at: 2009-05-04

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
