Yes, I would like to be dry humped by my backpack.
Please send immediately.

No, clearly its imperfections have the Li-ion thing bottom out after a few hours so that you have the step (and choice) of either making a fire or inflating a raft done for you by the time you’re at the apogee of your climb. Ideally you will encounter a Class C fire resistant bear at that point.
