rucksack

This is my 1st post. Just got an army issue artic sleeping bag and bergin to complete my bush craft kit. Tested the bag out in my hammock last night and I definitively need an underquilt. The shop I got the gear from was genuine army Surplus in Darlington. Here's the link...

Hi all, So as I've stated here before I do mostly canoe camping. the canoe does most of the work, but portaging is always the hardest part. Usually I'm alone, and I've had a bad back for a long time, but all this portaging is certainly making it worse. I'm to the point where I'm going to go...

I'm seriously considering purchasing this rucksack it seems to be a safe purchase but I am unsure if I can find one in the store so might have to buy blind over the net. Does anyone have any thoughts on the Berghaus Crusader 90+20 crusader? From what I've gathered the Berghaus Vulcan appears...

Hello. Just a brief one here as I got this system a little while ago and have used it sufficiently to write a few lines, just in case anyone was interested... Lots of photos here (NOT MINE) -...

Hi guys, Has anyone heard of, seen or used one of these? http://source-military.com/packs/46-idf-pro-90l.html <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAWCbN6Y2K4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAWCbN6Y2K4 They seem to be loaded with features, most of the inspired by other packs. For...

Ok, so I have been on the prowl to replace gear which I felt wasn't up to the task... GEAR HOLDERS Rucksack - Karrimor Sabre 45 Arktis Side Pouches SLEEPING OUT Sleeping Bag - Used a £70 3 season a few weeks back and it was unacceptable - so its now with a new owner from ebay...

I would be interested in any information about the Israeli brand Modan that used to make real Bergen-style/expedition backpacks in I guess the 90's. There are a handful of reviews on trailspace on a number of models of theirs written more than ten years ago, and the only other review I know of...

I have owned a Karrimor SF sabre 75 for a year now and I opted for this pack after I became fed up with the PLCE bergen that I had been using for many years. The PLCE bergen is a capable rucksack with good load carrying capacity, high quality construction and some handily placed pockets. The...

Another piece of kit needing a new home. I have a Terra Nova Laser 35l ultralight rucksack in all black. Weighs about under 500 grams. I have used it a few times , but have decide to upgrade to a cuben pack which will replace this and my 60L pack. Any question just ask. Thanks for...

I have a nice canvas rucksack and would like to make a set of dividers to seperate out various items inside such as a flask, water bottle, folding saw, bushcraft knife, binos etc. The stuff they use for camera bags seems to be very expensive for what it is and I wondered if anyone has any...

I currently use a Karrimor Sprite 10 rucksack for short hiking trips but just love the more tradtional canvas backpacks. Can anyone recommend any UK based websites where they sell a decent selection and different styles to chose from please? Something in Olive green would be ideal with plenty...

I am considering buying this sack - details here: http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/granite_gear_virga_rucksack.html I am attracted by its very light wieght of only 550 grams - thats a whole kilo less than the 65litre bag I use now. And it looks like I can if necessary strap a...

Olive green Sabre 35 in excellent condition, only used a few times since I got it from Black Sheep on here last year. No nicks, rips or tears - pretty much as new. All clip and zips in full working order. For sale due to me upgrading to a Sabre 45 Price £40 inc RMRD (paypal as...

Haven't seen one of these come up for sale for a while so wondered if anyone had one to swap. I would ideally like the side pockets and yoke if you have them but it's not essential. I've got a Sabre 35 in Olive green if you'd like something a little more compact. It's in excellent condition...

I've noticed a current trend towards smaller sacks stuffed to the gills, with pouches attached to the outside. Where as I tend to go for a bigger pack compressed around the load. Is there something I'm missing? Or Is the lure of pouch collecting just too strong? Cheers SBW

Hi guys, I have heard a great deal about Kifaru tactical rucksacks being the foremost of their kind. Do any of you guys own one??? They are very pricey even before you spec the tasty opions list up. Should I bother saving or just go for a Karrimor SF?? I was thinking about a ZXR or EMR. Their...

Hi All Had a quick look for previous reviews/threads, but couldn't find anything. Please feel free to link me to any previous threads if you know of any. Looking to get a Highlander Forces 55L rucksack and just wondered if anyone had any opinions, reviews etc. It will mainly be used for...
