All good Tahr I was really just having a laugh myself. I hope the bloke doesnt get offended. I have broken the odd thing loading a machine and got the dreaded headshake from a disgruntled passenger, nothing as important as a pack strap tho. If they said what they really felt like saying at the time they mite have earned a late pick up and fed the sandflys a bit longer

No worries Mate

Above was supposed to be a reply/ quote from your post #14 R93 but it doesn't seem to want to work properly

All good Skinny I havnt got my bag here in OZ. I plan to bring it back after my trip home in May. I may grab some details off you closer to the time if thats cool.

All good R93. Flick me a PM. Are you heading home for Opening Morning?

I wish Skinny. First opening I have missed since I started. Goin home for a Tahr during the ballot ,cant do both, I have to work sometime. I will no doubt get out for a few ducks while home.
I may not be able to bring my bag back due to being a cheap bugger and taking hand luggage on a cheap flight, but I will try to squeeze it in.

I used to work for Macpac and sold a few Resolution jackets to guys working in the film industry. They all came back and said that even after standing in the rain all day they stayed dry. All the Macpac gear I have is still going strong.

Dickhead may be a little harsh, but his lack of PR skills and his ability to smash gear other than his own are amazing. I have to admit that he is a very capable pilot though. And I did fly with him. He no longer flys the Kaimanawa area. I think he went over Rotorua or MURUPARA way. Whoops, you might know who I mean now. And no I am not a qualified space shuttle pilot.

All good 7mm I was just having a laugh at the new title really. Loved it! Jeez when a flap fag comes up with a name like that what can ya say?

Even paid the freight.
Macpac stand by their gear.

Just replaced the harness on my old 90 and just bought a brand new one off Trademe for 1/2 price which we are going to fill up with a large red Gizzie resident because we have already nailed one of his whanau pre roar.Dont think there is any issue on quality. The new one looks a nice piece of kit.

i have thrashed my cascade pack, many a hell misson done still stands up to the abuse i give it. i have got alot of nz produced macpac gear which is older which is great but i wonder how the off shore stuff stands up to hard work
