If God had intended us to go camping, He wouldn't of created the Travelodge!

Nothing wrong with loakes brogues !, i'll have mine on tonight along with my tux while i'm strutting my stuff on the dance floor, oh yeah !. The loakes are so comfy i can wear them all night & day.

I don't feel so bad now , thanks for the support my man, actually as you have said an amazing pair of shoes , i am sure you will pull on the dancefloor this evening , with those fellows on ...

Not quite sure as to why carrying stuff on the outside makes you a young deer?

Only if you're wearing fawn......

Have to agree with Bushwhacker & Wayland on this one....

 

[decorum]

Give it Ten minuets and someone will be asking what make those shoes hes wearing are

Never mind the shoes, where'd they get the Pin-Stripe shorts?

for me my axe is in the sleeve behind my side pocket so can be partly seen, my roll matt is underneath my pack and my folding bow saw is in a leather pouch on top and i look like a right knobber! and thats just how i like it

Could at least one of the people who think it's OK to dangle gear on the outside of a sack make a reasoned argument as to why it is acceptable. 168 posts in and not one decent argument from the defence.

For those interested in the 'rucksack carrier ' .http://surviving-outdoors.blogspot.fr/....it's just after the wooden spoons
And in case you're wondering it ain't me nor do I have anything to do with the chap other than subscribing to his youtube channel..


EDIT: you may have to click on 'home'.

Faffing about, get this and its job done. You could trim it with leather, maybe paint it more of an 'Earth' colour, stick a badge or two on it

Is there a reasoned argument why its NOT ok? I can't be bothered reading the whole thread, although I did catch the word 'knobber', so maybe you can summarise?

I'll go with the obvious......because they can't pack properly. the only times i ever carried anything outside my pack, other than permitted items, were before i knew how to pack a rucksack properly.

I carry my ccf Matt on the outsed as it saves space inside and its the accepted norm in my part time work.

It really is 'page one' campcraft stuff; here are a few reasons, let's see if you can add a few more...

Reduce the chance of getting snagged in the undergrowth/on a rock etc
Less chance of losing gear if kept inside a sack
Keeping C of G as close as possible to carrier reduces wasted energy
Privacy
Gear inside sack is afforded greater protection

The cog thang is my reason to hate molle on the back of a ruckus sack.

Fair enough I suppose, except for the privacy one; not following you there.

Reasons for carrying items outside your pack:

1. Ease of accessibility to item.

2. It won't fit in the pack but I don't want/can't afford a bigger pack.

3. It's just how I roll. And if someone in my company is sad enough to look at how I carry stuff and think 'That is unacceptable, what a knobber!', then I think I'd start packing more stuff on the outside of my pack just to annoy them.

Just to say, my knobber comment was more directed at any one up them selves enough to care what someone elses pack looks like

Ah I see, I told you I hadn't read the thread! It was the word 'acceptable' that irked me anyway. The only person who tells me what's acceptable is my wife, and she picks her battles!

To all, Sorry about sons post. I have promised to get him back

Your reasons are ALL good ones, and perfectly logical...
However to state that carrying ANYTHING outside/on your rucksack, whatever the conditions exhibits not only
A "Holier Than Thou" attitude, but a penchant for spouting complete Bull droppings...

In English? I think you've omitted at least half of a sentance.
