Wade over at Outdoorzy.com has a fun post in his blog yesterday on the Top 10 Cooletest Innovations in Backpacking Gear. I won’t spoil the list, but lets just say there is a lot to love on it.
I agree with a lot of the things that made his top ten list, but would probably add the improvements in backpack designs as well. The packs today are large, spacious, comfortable, and have more features than we could have dreamed of even ten years ago. I do have a big thumbs up to the mention of the Jetboil and the MSR Miox Water Purifier. The gear innovations just don’t stop coming. And we just keep dishing out the cash. 🙂
