I saw Coln18's at Loch Lomond a few weeks ago, great looking bit of kit and built like a tank.

If all else fails Tamarack sell them for £300 less your BCUK discount

Hi

Yep I have already checked them out and I may well get one from them. Just thought I might be able to help some one on here re-cycle some of there kit and save myself a couple of quid in the process
How was your mates for space? They look enough from the pics I have seen but nothing like seeing in the flesh

Yeah it was pretty big alright, what with his Duluth bedroll too it looked quite the part.

Frost River do some similar packs too, might be worth looking over the pond for a bargain.

Hello,

Frost River is a good choice to take a look at.

$175 gets you this very nice Bushcraft pack:

I picked up a brand new Timber Cruiser on UK ebay a couple of weeks ago for £110. Solid stuff for sure and will probably outlast me.

Thanks Guys. How you getting on with the pack ?

Have a look at either LL Bean or Cabelas, both US retailers but one of them does one at $99. It looks nice and their own kit is usually v good. Mind you there'll be a delay in airmail postage.

If you mean the LLBean classic rucksack in waxed canvas, I wouldn't get it, I had it and the leather on it was not to good, instead of normal bridle leather they used 2 layers of soft leather sown together with some nylon fabric between it to keep the leather from stretching, that didn't work as they planned though and the "in between" nylon fabric shed threads like crazy and the leather stretched a lot especially the shoulder strap ones.

The rest was OK, nicely lined inside even the side and front pocket etc. but not really a "Bushcraft" canvas rucksack.

Cheers,

Hi all, The Duluth Bushcrafter is expensive but well worth the money in my opinion. Size, not sure what it is in litres but its easily bigger than my 45ltr sabre with side pockets, but with the compression side straps can pack down for a nice overnight pack.

This is a pack that is built to last and as Rich say will outlast us all, i love the front pockets features and the axe storage on the front is a great idea...

In my opinion well worth it...try taking a look on Bushcraft Norhwest website for the video of the review...it will give you a great idea about it.. that where i got it from...

Thanks coln.
Have you tried straping a small tent to the fixing points on the lid if so is it stable or does it move around?
I feeling pretty sold on this pack and I think it will hold everthing I need on a trip I have planned soon but I think my small tent will have to go on the outside

[coln18]

your tent would go on the lid, but i tend to put tents or bedrolls tucked under the lid and pull tight with the leather straps, that way there is no moving about.

But you could easily place as tent in the main compartment as long as your not taking your kitchen sink on your trip...

Afraid not Salad, too be honest i wouldnt even sell the Bushcrafter for a profit, i just love the feel and look of it and its sooo roomy and easy to pack. i havent used my sabre 45 in about 8 months since i got the Bushcrafter.

Any way best of luck in your search for one and i hope you get one at a good price...

I got one by rugged river, and i'm very happy with it, sadly however, it looks like they've gone out of buisness.
