i plan on buying this one. Do you think it's worth it or should i get a more modern backpack?
I have a cheap lk35. I want to do the AT for a month and need something lighter. Anyone know a good cheap backpack that'll last me a month on the trail?
>>700530
Don't be a pussy - just use that.
Anyone own an Eberlestock backpack? I'm interested in getting this one:

Just bought this new toy.
>>700432
It's a Norröna synkron 100L.
I have a LK35, a 37l miltec bag and the Dutch military pack.

>>700525
Looks fine to me
Would look good with a messenger bag in the same material if you want to carry some more stuff
>>700429
You mind posting up your packing list?
>>701150
do you like it? Saw the dutch pack at the local dump but it was really expensive.
>>701323
I got it for 90 Euros in great quality, only a broken buckle and barely any fade on camo. DESU, It's really comfortable and fuckton of space for when I need to load my gear for 3 or more days. On shorter trips I use the one of the other two bags.
I got this guy. His name is Hudson. Made by 'meru' the house-brand of german outdoor-suplier Globetrotter. Im pretty happy with it, has a nice shape and all my stuff fits inside it.
I always try to take less stuff with me but for the bigger trips I always end up needing a 70 l bag.
Fell into a gap between an icefield and volcanic glass in Iceland about 5 meters deep but took no harm.
>>701271
Sure. Right now it contains;
Change of clothes
3l water bladder
Asus UX302 ultra book
Toiletry bag
Leatherman Skeletool CX
Portable hard drive
Small first aid kit
Bic lighter
Bundle of cable ties
Phone charger (12V and 240V)
Roll of duct tape
Roll of electrical tape
Markrite waterproof notebook
Assorted pens and permanent markers
Just finished up a 4 week geophysics data acquisition job and was driving a vehicle between Tasmania and mainland Australia. Photo was taken in the bar of the ferry across.

I'm just worried because i'm not too sure how it will fare because it doesn't really have a sternum strap.
>>700235
wtf is that an EF tours bag? I got one that looked exactly like that when I went to Europe back in highschool but human sized

>hiking with glass and bipod on your rifle
Almost as stupid as bringing a long as shit over/under. Do you seriously use this shit often, or is it a once a year thing. How do you even carry your guns, holding them in your hands the entire trip is about as convenient as trying to run a marathon with a 2 liter bottle stuck up your ass.
>>702067
>>702268
I just found a higher res pic. It is a Deuter.
>>702270
I have the same exact pictures without the guns aswell if that'll calm your autism. The reason I included them is becaue of the influx of BOB threads recently.
I haven't slinged the shotgun yet, and yes, hiking with guns are kind of a once a year thing since hunting is pretty restricted where I live.
>>702280
> points out a legitimate, obvious flaw
> must be autistic
>>702289
Easy there champ, ment nothing by it.
I might elaborate on my answer though. The thing is, where I live, bringing a rifle /out/ is only allowed when hunting. Thing is, you can only hunt on land you own or land ju lease. So pretty much the only hunts that'll allow you to camp is grouse hunting and the like. It's common place here to hunt grouse either with over-unders or 22lr scoped and often with bipod. Nothing strange, really.
>>702280
He's not butthurt that you have firearms, he's butthurt that you pack them in a retarded way or carry firearms that are not exactly conducive to long term hikes.
I used to get paid to walk long distances with a backpack and a rifle in my hand and I can tell you that after a few days, that shit gets fucking old. But since you mentioned that it's just a once or twice a year kinda thing due to hunting, I don't really see the issue anymore. I think he just assumed you regularly pack your weapons like that- which indeed would be stupid as hell
felt like scanning a bag catalog
>>702295
As a non-hunter, what's bad about the rifle in the pic?
>>700530
I'll take that off your hands if you're looking to sell .
>>701864
What's a Ricky?
>>701972
i sewed straps on it to attach molle pouches.

ANYBODY KNOW OF A SINGLE STRAP HIKING BAG , I have one but itsit's for like a middle schooler for a binder and a few other things in other words its real small( I broke my collarbone so I cant use a regular bag) PLEASE HELP A BROTHER OUT .ps not black
>>702686
There is pic related.
Maxpedition Monsoon Gear Slinger, comes in a variety of colors. Since it's single strap, it's not that big though, so I'd recommend it for dayhikes or shorter hikes if you can fit your overnight gear in it.
It's kind of pricey, too. Real good quality though. Maxpedition has a few other single strap backpacks if I'm not mistaken, check them out.
>>702604
Well it's a medic backpack and it's pretty common for fellow EMS personnel to give each other shit for owning and using job-related equipment. So the phrase "Ricky Rescue" is a common jeer as if to say "rookie rescue" or "someone who is brand new and doesn't understand they don't need extra gear". I just assumed since you had it you were a medic and you'd know what I meant.
Nonetheless, it is an awesome backpack and I am glad to see other people using it outside of it's intended purpose as an airway/trauma backpack.
>>701493
what sort of data were you acquiring? I'm a geology student currenlt, looking to get into some dope field work pretty soon, tell some stories pls
>>702604
For example:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ricky+Rescue
>>703193
Was running a long period magnetotelluric survey. Looking at the deep (~60km) geoelectric structure of Tasmania.
All instruments are in the ground at the moment. Will be picking them up and checking data in a week or so. May need to redeploy a few as we're having problems with wombats digging up magnetic sensors and chewing electrode cables. Have developed a passionate hatred for wombats during the course of this survey.
>>702270
What is the issue with an over/under shotgun?
>>702597
Trekking for days on end with a scoped weapon is kinda iffy in terms of keeping the thing safe and not getting banged around or broken. Generally what I do when I hunt like that is zero my scope, mark my rails with a small dab of whiteout or something, and put the scope in my backpack and carry the rifle, usually with a set of iron sights on it as well, just in case. I don't put the scope on my rifle until I get to my hide. Bipods, IMO, are unnecessary. You can post your weapon against a tree or cross your arms and cradle your rifle or even use the sling as a way to hold the weapon in place when you aim.
However, the way I usually hunt is stalking and for that I take a lever action rifle in .45-70, so using a scope for that kind of round is pretty stupid. I'm a better shot with irons than I am with a scope anyway.
>>703370
For long multiday hunts, an O/U (or any long shotgun really) becomes a gigantic pain in the ass to carry around unless you have a sling.
How am I doin'
Not pictured: Sawyer straw, wire saw
>>702270
I admit to never having stuck a 2 liter bottle up my ass, so I will have to take your word for the inconvenience of it.
I do hike and backpack hunt with a scoped rifle about 100 days per year and have no issue with it. Don't use a bipod at all so can't comment on that.
What issues have you encountered hiking with a scoped rifle? What make and model and mounts?
Are the 65L osprey packs not worth it? I don't really care about money I just want one pack that will last me and be good for anything.
>>704759
Osprey packs are well made and they have a no questions asked warranty.
I'd try a few different models on first, just to make sure they're comfortable on you.
>>704759
Yeah, I just took my new friend on a 3 day hike to really break it in, had only taken it on overnighters previously.
I'll be taking it on the Lone Star Trail here in Texas over my work break next week then again summer 2016 for my PCT hike.
/side note: This thing is a bitch to set down, the hip straps are so rigid and hug so well that when you set it down they topple it over onto it's back, wrong side up. Another note is that this thing has no real outerior pockets besides the mesh and the back on it's top.
Have I fucked up?
/k/ here, can you guys recommend me a backpack that I can use as an overhead? I am traveling to Thailand and would like something to store as a carry on.
>>704941
Don't think so. As long as the straps are comfortable enough. I actually like the double sided containers. Would be great for water bottles
>>704941
now you just need the sleeping pad which acts as a makeshift frame and padding
>>705108
Do you know if the mats alone are comfortable enough for sleeping on with a sleeping bag?
>>704941
you bough chinese fake shit.

If you just need a daypack, it's fine, but you're not going to find a decent multi-day pack there.
Is the Osprey Aether 70 a good backpack? Looking for something for a 5-7 day hike this Summer.
>>702270
I just lash my rifle to my pack when I'm hunting mountain goats. Not really as big a deal as you're making it out to be, buddy.
>>705668
How do you plan food for such a long trip? I was thinking of buying ground meat and making a bunch of cheap jerky.
>>705702
Mixes of granola bars, cheese, olive oil (some), peanut butter, oily nuts, other trail foods
I don't like to cook when I'm on a long trail, stove takes too much space and I couldn't care less about hot food.
>>705750
You can cook without a stove. I've never carried a stove. They are the stupidest shit ever and a waste a space. Only white hikers with dreadlocks carry them with their bag of Starbucks coffee. I carry a stainless steel container to keep some small items in and I use it to cook, boil water, etc. I hardly carry food that I need to cook though. I bring smoked meat and carrots to snack on, as well as some apples and oranges. Only time I cook food is when I kill something or catch a fish. Not a fan of granola bars, nuts, or trail foods as they keep my mouth dry and thirsty.
>>705757
Watch out, we got ourselves a badass here!
>>705757
Is me, stop memeing so hard
>>704255
you have some seriously shit pieces of gear there anon
do some research and spend the extra dosh for quality
>>705757
What if my hobby is to make spaghetti 10 miles into the wilderness faggot?
>>704947
Gregory Zulu 30L
small enough for carry on, big enough to hold anything you might need, and has a cool frame that lets air flow between your back and your bag so you don't get sweaty as fuark (a big plus, especially in Thailand)
>>702688
Had one of these, used it a ton in Afghanistan. Was pretty sad when it got blown the fuck apart in a firefight. They're rugged packs and will hold more than you think- also the hip belt is a fucking godsend considering it's a single strap back. Get it.
>>700565
I own a half-track; I wouldn't use it for light hikes or anything like that(~6lb). Somewhat spacious, the shelf is awesome, and the bladder sleeves hold 3L a piece no problem.
Also, keep in mind that while it's a front-loader, it probably won't fit your tent and sleeping bag inside. So far it's worked well for me as a hunting/bushcraft pack.
>>705815
Like what
I know the survival knife and mess kit are old, saved some money by repurposing shit i already have, but i feel like replacing those would be a waste of money with little practical improvement in utility. Diminishing returns and shit
>>702256
>22lr
>that scope
Fucking why.
>>705757
Stoves are pretty useful when there's a fire ban.
>>706642
Right brand and right price range.
I agree its pretty big, but if you'd read the thread, you'll know it's not for hiking initially.
>>700387
You're no steve climber
>>706991
yes, when you buy glass you want to go premium, especially when investing in something high power or variable magnification.
But, You don't need to see your reflection in a squirrels eyes to shoot it; 22lr doesn't have an effective range to warrant such a magnification.
With higher mag you end up with a heavier rifle and less FOV.
less magnification is better when shooting 22lr.
This is just my 2 cents but you do you.
>>700417
first time seeing this but saw a gif of it before
I seriously didnt catch it was a dummy falling and was expecting him to fall sometime
>>707690
I see your point, but I'd actually argue the opposite.
When you hunt larger game with 308 or such, a heart/lung shot will be like hitting a football (granted at a longer range, but still), while shooting small game with a 22lr will require you to place a shot within a the size of a coin.
Now, where I'm from, 22lr is generally only used on birds, pests or sometimes rabbit. So you want good precision.
I have an experienced hunter in the family that I'm learning from, and he argues that you'll want your best optics on your 22 since it's your surgeons tool.
Probably lots of ways to look at it, but this is what I have heard.
>>706124
You brought your own gear?
Also, story pls

I'm sure it's a great pack anon but that yellow color is just fuck-ugly, what does it look like when you set it down in the mud? shit and piss?
>>710227
You should cut out a piece of cardboard and wrap some duct tape around that so you don't have to carry around an entire roll.

Story isn't very interesting.
>raiding a weapons cache being fronted as an opium farm
>naturally, OPFOR is not a fan of such an action
>one of said OPFOR fires a thermobaric RPG at me and 3 others as we bound across a courtyard in the compound
>be outside the blast radius so don't get fried but shrapnel from old mud buildings in compound flies fucking everywhere
>puts lots of holes in backpack and gives me many pockmarks on my arm and legs as well as a concussion
>myself and 3 others shoot that faggot many times
that's about it, it was the only firefight I've ever been in
>>702194
Well I'd say some of it is 'luxury' like certain clothes. Also my trips are more like 3 weeks, not 3 days.
>>710451
>thermobaric rpg
Sheeiiiit, sounds like the Russians have been funding the taliban like we funded the Muj in the '80s.
Not something I'd want to be the receiving end of, even out in the open.

>>700430
Who's the faggot on the right
>>701150
I have Dutch army backpack too, little bit different.
>>711324
I have no idea if it was Iranian or Russian, I just know it made a terrific fucking flash and noise, and made my bones feel like jelly for a few hours. It was confirmed after by my TL who watched it happen from a better angle that it was indeed thermobaric.
They'd been buying their arms with the profits off the opium they'd been selling, which is why we were raiding and destroying the poppy farms and compounds
>>711308
Looks unique
