pseudonym - can you tell me somewhere that might sell these? a chain or shops or something? the only berghaus ones i can find are the multicoloured camping and hiking ones.
All bar one came from Army surplus stores and for under half the price of a new one.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

I have a couple of 5.11 Rush packs too, a 12 for EDC and a 72 while I'm away for work. Great bits of kit, well made and sensibly thought out for ease of access to everything.

had a good look round go outdoors, checked out the osprey packs, must admit i did like them, but I've realised they're not what I'm after, since i started dipping my toe into the prepping world and seeing things in a different way the things i want have changed, a couple of years ago when looking for a pack i would have gone for something like the 1's i saw tonight, they really do look like a decent bag, quite cool, but now I'm thinking different and I'm veering more towards the military style of packs, i know some people say they stand out more but each to their own and all that.

saying all that, i did see a vango freedom 80+ 20 pack that i really did like, really comfy, adjustable and spacious, matches my family tent as well.

haha i can see why you would go down that route, seemed a decent bag, are you currently using that or have you changed it, a lot of people seem to have plenty of different bags and change/upgrade often, id like to get started before i get to do any changes

Its still loaded up only problems is the 20l bag is somewhat uncomfy on its own and if well aka badly packed they are a pain to zip together

do you take it out and test it? or is it sitting by the door/in the car waiting to be used?
