i'd be frightened of what else it could have trolled...

i guess it was a weather balloon...his brothers say they saw him climb in...there was a compartment that was attached to hold the equip for collecting data...that box where the kiddo would have been was not attached to the balloon when it landed...i fear this story could have a very, very sad ending...

or just add the tag to the pics url (minus the spaces) gives you this:

click the "Enter an image" icon in the full reply/post screen then paste the URL...its the icon between the envelope and camera

"The balloon touched down about 2 miles east of Prospect Reservoir at 1:35 p.m., but the boy was not inside."

fak...yeah it does "The structure at the bottom of the balloon that the boy is in is made of extremely thin plywood and won't withstand any kind of a crash at all," said Erik Nilsson, Larimer County Emergency Manager.

seriously...another question...how the hell do you rescue the kid?

Costa Rica

Where were you? they were here: Cody, WY TR

only an 8ish hour drive... you're sucha tease G!

i want to go to there...

a pack in the 50-60 liter range would suit you well for many things you're looking at (2-3 days) and as you progress and pick up lighter more compressible gear it'll get you to 4+ days and supplement with a smaller pack for shorter pursuits. you'll find many suggestions and none of them wrong. good brands to pursue (short list) Osprey, Wild Things, Cilo Gear, Arc'Teryx, Black Diamond, Mammut and more. look for a pack with not too many bells and whistles, top loading, ice axe loops, good hip belt and shoulder straps, and fits well. i like Osprey packs mostly due to their fit for my torso as well as Arc'Teryx but dont like the price tag. something you could transition from backing to modest mountaineering will give you a good bang for your buck. Osprey Aether series, Black Diamond Quantum, Gregory Z series come to mind.
