Complaints

If I could just take a moment to complain, I think I'd feel better.  So…backpacking sucks.  My pack is even smallish, and not that heavy.  But my back, neck, and shoulders hurt.  My knees ache, my legs are sore, my ankles swollen, my feet battered.  The only reason you should need a backpack is if you are actually hiking on some inclined, or rough terrain.  Or if you're dealing with a lot of stairs.  But this is unnecessary.  Next time, I'm bringing a rolly suitcase.
