What backpack would you guys suggest for max 50$ ?
I am thinking about alicepack or swedish lk35 and pouches to add them on the pack.
What can you guys say , in what condition do lk35s come from militarymart.co.uk ?

LK35 is a great although heavy pack. For comfort you should add a waist belt and chest strap, it makes a huge difference in carrying comfort. I don't know about the condition in the UK, I got mine brand new here in Sweden for less than 20£

I think 35L pack + 2 side pouches will be enough for a 3 day trip ?

LK35 should be ideal, if your buying from militarymart, it's best ringing first to check there in stock.

They aren't always easy to come by but I got a good quality Dutch Army Sting for just a shade over £50 if you include postage (I think it was £53 but can't remember)

They are a big bag with great back system and mine had PLCE rocket pockets as well plus you can attach Molle and there are lots of other options.

On the down side it is a very heavy pack and this is why I've moved away from it after last summer as I simply couldn't easily carry the weight on the moor.
