Thats an interestingly mod'd m39 - looks like it can open right p to be flat? any more pic's of that??

Or maybe not - is that something just strapped to the outside? - the sideways photo is confusing my eyes!

Thanks for the extra pics.

I thought for a moment that it had been opened along the entire length of the side so it could be opened right out - a bit like a homemade cargo panel type thing - then tied back together with the lacing.

I like those packs, I got one in portugal for 2 quid but the leather was in a poor state and rotted away fairly quickly. I did put some new webbing straps on but after some really really heavy abuse it started falling apart - it's still in the shed waiting for me to do something with it....

Sorry for the terrible photos but my packs are all loaded up for a trip to Spain and I wanted to whack my 2p in... so this is the best I have got at the moment....

I love the "vintage" older looking canvas packs - just so much character, but I tend to do a lot of long distance hiking and found that I just didnt enjoy it, next step was the army surplus packs which I loved again - just that little bit of characteristic mud - but these were all designed for people under 2 foot tall (being way over 6 foot waist belts are more arm pit belts)... So here I am bigging up the civilian market!!! (Dont hunt me down guys :p )

This has led to Osprey Kestrel 48, got it second hand and I think it looks the business. One of the best packs I have owned. Here it is (well mostly me, sorry) earning its living up in Scotland.

The other day I also ended up buying my first Lowe Alpine (as you lot all rate them so highly - so its all your fault I am poor!! :p ) Hate the colour, but hopefully all the use and abuse will cover it up. This is to replace the slowly dying (but not quite dead) Osprey. Again sorry for the terrible pictures, I hope to take some nicer ones when I am back and able to get out.

Thought I would revive this thread now that I can join in with the Canvas loveliness.

Daypack/Summer overnighter is an old LandTrekka 35 from Regatta
whilst there's a lot of things I dislike about this pack, it's so comfortable to wear that I'm reluctant to part with it

I don't use a backpack for daypack, and now that my shoulder bag has found a new home, this is what I'm taking for my longer walks and days out.

Hi guys,

Can anyone assist me with a good place to buy the leather lashing straps to attach bedrolls etc to day packs? I'v searched everywhere and either I'm not calling them the right thing on Google or they aren't for sale anywhere?!!!

Thanks in advance

Could always try a Tack shop where they sell horse bridles and things...?? Go Outdoors do horse stuff but maybe an actual place where they sell bridles and saddles would be better.
