living for months out of a backpack seems crazy. dont you get tired of lugging that huge thing around and walking all the time?

This is why I like to set up a "home base" and take short trips from there. I have two huge suitcases and a carryon because I could be out of the US for up to a year and don't like living like a refugee. Of course this doesn't count as "backpacking," but it's an option to consider.

Truthfully it's not that bad out of a backpack. There's some pretty big, badass ones, and you can fit a lot of [censored] in there.... most of it you'll never use, but you could, if you wanted.
