    Large molle rucksack .

    So this is my second time having to use this but Lord does it feel amazing again. Eventually I'm gonna modify it for some future stuff. I have the smaller medium size pack of the same ..... Category I guess you can say .... Stored down in Texas so one I can get that back I'll use it as a chest pack.

    Question large Dutch 'lowe alpine sting' rucksack safe to take in public?

    I live in the USA. I recently came into possession of this dutch military surplus backpack (pictures attached). Its comfortable, not too long on my body, room for my gear, etc. The only downside is that it is not discreet at all because its so large and it looks very 'military'. Ive been camping...

    i was messing around in my sketchbook and trying to figure out how to organise my gear (and what stuff i need to get) and i ended up sketching it all out. thought some of you guys might get a kick out of it? my pack itself is pretty small - it's a 30 litre backpack supposedly, but i think it...

    Thermacell Mosquito Repelling Backpacker Gadget

    Saw this on a forum. Takes up more space than spray and the reviews make me believe it is effective but unreliable. Has anyone used something like this...

    from backpacker to bikepacker: gear list

    My traveling background is mostly backpacking. That is, bumming around with a pack, usually staying at pensions (Europe), motels (North America) or cheap hotels (Asia). Worst case i overnight in a bus terminal, train station or airport. There's still a lot of walking involved, but it's not...

    Alice Pouches

    I used the search function and couldn't find anything...what are some "essential pouches" you guys add to your ALICE pack? I recently came into one and was curious what additional pouches are useful.

    The Hoverglide backpack looks straight out of a scifi movie

    https://v.redd.it/osxm3qb6osv41 So what I gather from doing no research and just watching the video clip is that this basically puts a gimbal system on your backpack similar to what cameras use for smoothing out video. If what they claim is true, we could be in for a whole new kind of backpack...

    Pickle or ALICE pack for long term hitchhiking and camping

    I know pickles suck. But i do like my pickle quite a lot. Im attached to it. I got an alice large with frame while i was working the past couple months. Objectively this would probably be the better bag and better for my back. Any thoughts?

    Old school great depression era bindle sack

    Found this old pic some time ago and since one of my bandanas is 42x42 I decided to try it out and it actually works. The weight is good especially if your Into minimalist style of traveling like me.

    Can you walk long distances with a heavy pack?

    I usually have no problem walking long distances, in fact I kinda like the satisfaction I get from walking town to town. I got a new pack that holds a lot more stuff but I don't know if i'll be able to walk long distances lugging it around. I don't know how much it weighs but the pack is almost...

    Never leave your pack alone, not even for a minute!

    I’m at the airport in Barcelona and I just got my pack stolen. I made a poor decision and went to the bathroom for about 5-7minutes and left my pack under a chair, when I came back my shit was gone. I was sitting right in front of a camera, and I foolishly thought it might be safe. Don’t make...
