I got a decent 65l coleman...i can strap my case to it and it don't weigh me down..i bought a can of water proofing for it..i used something similar to ta-50 cord to tied other things down...comfortable and good
I did some research on the molle frames and generation 4 seems really tough. The three before are absolute crap. A man at 200+ froze the frame then jumped on it in attempts to break it. It didn't. I've got it now and will see how it holds up.I know both Gen molle frames have a habit of breaking.Hence why I like the old Alice crap.
I got messed with one time many years ago on account of my fancy-looking pack. I like having an old beater that doesnt attract attention, but Ive gone back and forth and currently have a pretty nice one. Its my house and it has to carry all my shit all over the world and maybe other peoples too.
I recommend cutting off/getting rid of unnecessary straps and junk, mec/rei packs almost always have tension straps and stuff you dont need.
has anyone ever actually used or seen someone with a bindle stick? that would be awesome and probably kind of laughable all at once.
