Smashing pack that dave! Loving it!

I use a Fjallraven vintage 20l, great pack! I've done overnighters with it (extremely minimal ones) and use it as my day pack all the time. It'll hold pretty much anything you'd need for a day hike. I usually have a knife, axe, saw, water bottle, firesteel, flint and steel, crook knife, woodgas stove occasionally, mors pot, Titan kettle etc etc. Basically whatever I need for the planned day gets packed in :).

Bad photo and old but it's gives an idea :).

I get the vibe my MOLLE'd pack wouldn't be awfully welcome in this company :sulkoff:

:) Of course it would....

I was browsing this thread on BCUSA the other day: Day Pack Pics

Which includes 22 pages of everything under the sun, from sling packs, to basket packs, canvas, mystery river, kifaru, duluth, surplus, molle, cordura, civvy, military etc etc....

My Frost River Seven Bridges Daypack;


Load out: blanket, FR Lunch Bag behind the mess kit roll, a FR accessory bag just to the right, a water bottle, mess kit again rolled in a 34"X30 cotton flour sack towel, poncho/tarp, bag of birch bark I insist in carrying (in birch tree country for crying out loud), a folding saw, a hatchet, a gallon baggie containing another flour sack towel and a number of paper towels, and misc. containers full of possibles from the front pouch. Enough stuff to keep me over night if I pleased to stay over night, and longer if I carried enough grub.



As it stands, the pack weighs +/- 12lb. Adding more food and filling the water bottle would chase that up the hill a ways,,,

Thanks for looking,,

Some great packs here. One thing I notice is how do you lot keep warm on an overnighter? I see tarps and a hammock (?) no sleeping bag for warmth?? Am I missing something...


Sent from somewhere?
