Bought a Macpac cascade off TM for $150 for the big trips.

Avoid the Stoney Creek 80L hunter/hunter2 packs. They are useless. Twin needle have repaired mine so many times that its now more repairs than original.

Yes I was going to buy that cascade on trademe but would prefer 75l to the 90l

So how are the bisons holding up?

I'm on the lookout and its either a macpac Torre (80-85) or the bison, need more room and better weight carrying than my current setup.

Any ideas on cheap(er) buying options on the bisons?
