    I have a simple 15 litre day pack that has been torn, holed and re patched but still does the biz.

    There you go. What a design. More uses than just a pack Maca. Twine can be used to build a shelter, three holes in sugar sack and you have another layer of clothing and the inner tube gets a fire going even when it is wet. You should fucking patent that idea mate.

    A shorter list would be what's right with a sugar sack
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I use a stika framed pack. I find is awesome because there is no weight on my shoulders or back. It all sits on my hips and I find this keeps my posture a shit load straighter and makes climbing 10x easyer. I had a stoney creek one b4 this the 2 in 1 bum bag one and found it caught up on everything and sagged down my back with a heavy load.

    My only experience of one of those contraptions was once and that was enough, Full of Tahr and I needed a pair of new shoulders and back as well.

    I've tried a few, current favourite is an eberlestock x2, external frame with vented back so no sweaty back and can handle the load on the way out. Not your usual looking pack but does the job nicely.



    Happy shopping.

    What ever you do, buy a pack that has a tapered top.
    I have a Stoney Creek 15L day pack which suits my need for day hunts and can strap onto my macpac, but when full the top protrudes up and can get caught on all sorts of stuff when im climbing through bush, usually supplejack. Which then leads to cold water running down your next. You want something that will slide underneath the branches with you.

    Just my 10c
