Comment 1: If you zoom in on the closer-up helicopter picture, you can actually see the pilot. Neat!
Comment 2: I love modern technology. I have a new Camelbak this year, the Ventoux (my previous models are Cloudwalker and Lobo). The Ventoux holds 3 L, unlike the other two which hold 2L. Besides that, it has 2 features I really like which the others don't have: One, it has an arched plastic external frame which holds the pack off of my back, so that my back gets some air and the sweat can evaporate (I think CamelBak calls it the Air Director). Two, it has an attached rainfly which sits in its own little pocket, deployable in seconds. I haven't used that yet, but I'm going to really like it the first time we get caught in the rain on a hike. :)
