I loaded it up with tarp, hammock, sleeping bag, underblanket, two filled water bottles (one black army one & one 1l Sigg), axe, stove 'n' pan, fire kit, crusader mug + lid, spoon, knife, Laplander saw, first aid kit, a change of clothes, waterproof jacket, gaiters, four dehydrated meals, a pair of binoculars, some 'hill food' (scrounged from the kitchen drawer...), a woolly shirt/fleece thing and a hat.

All this was swallowed happily by the pack - and I have to admit that I wasn't especially picky about cinching everything down or packing it rigorously. I then spent about half an hour stomping around the garden and up and down the lanes locally and it carried very well. It feels close and compact when being carried and I reckon, with more careful packing, it would be good for five or six days away from civilisation. It has a mesh back which allows good air circulation, the shoulder straps are well contoured and the waist belt takes some of the load as it should.

It is a very nice pack indeed but, being a creature of habit, it's not the one that I reach for when heading out into the woods or the wilds. It seems a pity for such a well-made and well thought out pack to sit there, doing nothing, hence my attempt to sell it to a better home where it'll be used.

Just watched this film and started Googling for the bag, it came up on Bushcraft as the top result with the answer. Who needs Google anyway! I've just purchased a Wisport bag but in 2 or 3 months I'll have enough SWIMBO points to investigate getting this one as well.

Cheers BCUK!
