Maybe an early May or October thing IF I was basecamping, I suppose.  Lord knows I've hauled bulkier, more "experimental" crap along on mere whimsy in the past.

Heck, why not throw it in the pack?  I'm the guy who hauled a full canoe sail rig (pink) AND two seat-backer canoe seats clear across a 3 mile bushwhack into a remote WCPP lake (along with my normal outrageously heavy gear).  Just throw it in with the rest of junk & let's see what happens (other than another back or hip surgery).

Interesting, though....
