It’s about time technology started doing something for me. The MIT exoskeleton can make an 80 pound backpack feel like only 16 pounds to the wearer, and it uses only 2 watts of power instead relying on a series of springs and dampers to transfer weight to the ground. It’ll be nice for carrying my own firewood and several jugs of Gatorade into the backcountry—and by “backcountry” I mean someplace close to a robot repair shop, which shouldn’t be hard to find.

Thanks Daven
