Young's Backpacking

This spectacular bit of hardware is the foot of a diving beetle, specialized to propel it through the water.

Take advantage of this beautiful weather by picking up a hammock from the store - Happy Friday!

Happy President's Day! This week's pack is a North Face trekking backpack from the 1970s. Its around 40L in capacity with two large tube-shaped compartments in the front, making it a good pack for an overnight trip. For those that don't know, The North Face was founded in 1966, and has been a local Berkeley company for much of its existence. In fact, this pack was made in Berkeley!
