    Canvas Bedroll

    A friend uses a hypalon groundsheet which is almost indestructible. But the cost for that stuff is stupid.

    That is a nice pack. had a very similar one as my first outdoor pack as a teenager. never knew it was a scout pack. it was a pass on through my uncles. Mine had been modified with an axe loop. A soft pack like this made me really think about what I carried and how i packed it, helped no end...
