You had BRAKES?! Luxury!!

Doesn't it bash you on the back of the head everytime you get up?

Not sure the pack would squeak louder than me TBH.

The only deal is on that 65l pack unfortunately. Bivouac.

There is a damn good deal on this pack at the mo'. For a spendthrift like me it was hard to do the responsible thing...

Here's a real foreigner question.

Walking up (and down) rivers.

In another thread I was looking for some nice multi-day armed tramps to do. One came up with a bunch of river walking.

Having...

85l Osprey Aether Plus it is.

Because you guys told me to go big or go home.

It's on you now.

Thanks all.

Bushbuck have a pan they have been pushing. I got one the other day, seems more robust (heavier base) than one might think. Haven't used it yet.

Not sure I ever will - seems like one of those...

When I do some googling around, 55 seems to be the sweet spot for tramping packs. it's what's making me wonder about the bigger packs.

About 3kg. Those fancy frame packs from Hunters Element and Bushbuck are both heavier (3.5kg?) and I suspect not as robust.

1k tho'. Dang, that take commitment. Stone Glacier would be more -...

Ok, so I'm looking for a multi-day backpack.

I always tend to go for too small so as a kneejerk reaction I'm looking at Osprey Aether 85l (and furtively at Stone Glacier Talus 6900, but I don't...

"I'm surprised it took so long to find one..." :XD:

Must be nice to have that kind of confidence / expertise.

Hmmm. I had thought about this one from the one time I did go to the end of Clements...

Dang, this sounds spot on.

Thanks bud.

I've been working flat out on the project from hell since the beginning of the year, which, since Jan 5 or whenever we started work again, has been 'almost finished' as in 95% done, 45% to go. Maybe....

Oh, and neither did it have an entry for my Bergara Hunter Extreme, which is now branded as an Extreme Hunter (because it sounds better?).

So that got registered as a B14... Dang.

I've not read the previous 21 pages so apologies if this has been said multiple times before...

I have a Norinco 22 rebranded as an Outdoor Arms JW-15S.

Outdoor arms does not exist as a...

Been thinking it'd be nice to take the kid out hunting, but not sure he has the patience yet it would take for deer.
