Cheap 45-50L rucksack

[ShieldsOnTour]

Hi All,

I've just come back from a solo 6 day wander around the Cairngorm mountains ( pic's will be posted later ). My 35L rucksack was too small and my 80L was just too big. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a cheap 45-50L rucksack? I am looking for something green (not too keen on DPM) and second hand is fine/expected.

Thanks all.

Tim.

I know what you mean.

Last weekend I went out for an overnighter, and my 33 litre pack was big enough for all of my gear, even though I wasn't travelling light. Then I noticed the wine and whisky that I'd overlooked, and there was no way that I was squeezing that in.
My only alternative was my Crusader, which I packed up with the same gear + wine and whisky. It looked full. Big Swede was kind enough not to laugh when I turned up for a one night trip with what looked like a week's gear.

Cheers, Michael.

Forces 44...you won't get a better bag for the money....even look at the 55...if I remember I think it's got more padding on the back. You can try them at www.lasoutdoors.com in leith Walk, Edinburgh
