backpacks

Hey everyone, Im looking for a high quality backpack for my dog. The one ive been using this year was very cheap and dissapointing.. On this picture the bag is new Very cheap bag but for the price ( 30$ ) i guess id say it's worth it. He was able to carry 3 days of food and 2 water bottles...

Male/female couple, putbull named king. Woman named Angel, heavy set. Male, skinny covered in tats. They were driving a Pontiac Bonneville that barely had breaks so they probably won't have that car for much longer. Really really shitty.

Hey everyone, I need a medium sized alice pack for train hopping and everywhere I look online sells them for quite a bit of money, like over 20 bucks which doesn't sound like a lot until you consider that that doesn't include a frame or any straps or anything. Since I'm buying those seperate Im...

Thought I'd share my winter gear setup, see what ya'll thought about it. I do realize it's alot more than most carry, but I'm used to it, and I use every piece of it. Gear List: Pack -Osprey Aether AG 70L -Osprey waterproof pack liner Shelter/sleeping: -OR Advanced Bivy -8x10' tarp...

Just got into the idea of, when carrying my sometimes extra dog food, extra water on my semi heavy pack, why not rig of an impermanent tumpline to use my neck and noggin to take a little weight off the shoulder and hips. Gonna try her out. Checking out primitive gear and packs got me on it. Even...

External pockets are my thing. Without this lil baby, I tend to lose my shit. Now some people just don't understand the simplicity of the Ass Satchel. I love it and wanna know your take on external ass-pockets. :)

I've got a belt folding knife and some tools I've collected for various reasons in my back pack. I'd like to lose the weight and get a multi tool that is good enough. I'm thinking about a Stanley? It's cheep enough and good enough.? Not sure. Ideas??

came across this, seems like a good idea. I will try making one.

Hey! So, i was thinking on upgrading my pack, at the minute i've just been using some cheapy pack i picked up in some surplus store. It does the job, but it's not very big and wont store stuff for long trips (I only really do walking for short periods currently, with a tent set up as a "base"...

I came upon this through reddit, and it's an easy way to conserve space in your pack by rolling your clothes into a compact roll, similar to the hobo roll I guess. For a t-shirt: For jeans: For socks: For a day's worth of clothing: Hoodie: I thought this was a good method...

A buddy of mine plays airsoft and recently kicked me down a south African assault vest. Obviously wearing it won't get me very far. I was curious if anyone else has cut the pouches off other tactical vests and attached/rivited/sewn them to their packs, belts, etc? Got pics? Would the padding...

Have you found a good deal on kit, or have a good link for finding the stuff we can use?? I'll start. I found a down sleeping bag for 20 bucks, and a Kelty Yukon backpack for 10 bucks. The backpack is a bit small at 48 liters, but I'm going to make it work.. I'd upload pics, but the camera...

Okay guys i bought an 55L wasing backpack for 30 bucks. It's super cheap and not good. What are some reliable brands that you use or have used.

Hey Everyone, was wondering if any of you had strong recommendations either way regarding both tents vs hammocks and army vs hiking backpacks? I'll be hitching/ridesharing and camping mostly. Will be hiking ALOT and plan on months of travel as I want to experience the Rockies. I've already...

I have a problem, only you can help, If I can find them. I need ... The squat team! OK today I got an old jansport external frame backpack from Sally's. The straps were ripped off the top but for 0.99$ its a significant upgrade to what I have now. The straps are connected to the pack with...

What would be the most durable pack to live out of. For year

I'd like to take a second to show you how I roll. this is the u.s. army mollie 2 pack that came after the Alice series. It's big, bulky, but a real beast. durable, water resistant, quick drying and it carries a ton of stuff. Everyone has the is own concept of what they can't live without while...

So this is the first load out on my new pack...cut the divider out and gave me a bunch of room.It's an Origin 22.18 waterproof pack.Inside I have 2 pairs pants,4 pairs of socks ,4 days of food,2 t shirts 2 long sleeve base layers and some long underwear and my esbit stove.On the outside is my...

been using a gregory z55 the past 2 years and its been working great but iv been housed up have the money to upgrade my gear, considering an osprey atmos 65, is it too big? im defidently not getting anything bigger then 65 hoping to find one around 60L.

Im about to be couch surfing the bay area looking for work with my life in my backpack. I was thinking about getting a ALICE pack but I noticed the hype on Osprey. My question is are they really worth $150 and if so what model be best for someone with a pack full of clothes and a sleeping bag to...

If needed should you ever leave your pack anywhere, and if so, where? For example you need to enter a gas station, restaurant, supermarket, music venue, etc. but they won't allow you to enter with your pack. I personally haven't encountered it before but I do get a lot of looks. I'm about to...

I learned that traveling is not as hard as one would think. If one keeps to Transporation, Shelter, and Food (TSF) one can go farther than expected. However, I learned people pack too much (I am also guilty of this). Unless you are going to outer space or the Artic, you really don't need much...

For the oogle who has everything.

I am looking at a backpack that was top rated on Google: Osprey Aether 70. It looks good, it has a frame and promoted airflow with your back. I think it looks good and I wanted to know what you think of it. Thank you! Osprey Aether 70

The Oakley kitchen sink is the greatest backpack of all time in my humble opinion. It'll cost you between $100 to $350 depending on which version, but the one I'm showing here is the standard and it can be had for around $150 if you shop around, $200 if you buy it from Oakley. Maybe a bit on...

So, the zipper on my sleeping bag separated, and wouldn't zip up anymore. I looked around the interwebs for a bit, and I found a solution. SPOILER ALERT: It fucking works. I've already tried the method in the video, and now my sleeping bag zips up perfectly again...

I got this sucker a little while ago, and thought I’d share a few of the pros and cons, after a five day trip into the woods... again -- I’m not a traveler, mostly a primitive camping enthusiast that stumbled upon this great StP website and am very appreciative for all of the great info I’ve...

About to be homeless and this is the only pack i own. Its big enough for about 1-2 changes of clothes, blanket/sleeping bag, jacket, lighters, and a little more small things without being way too heavy, but is it practical? Any help is greatly appreciated.

After studying a bit about what the nomad lifestyle may ask from a rucksack I'm disposed to get the following: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/forclaz-easyfit-70l-hiking-rucksack-dark-blue-id_8300845.html What do you think of it? Being from Decathlon is useful as I live within walking distance of...

hey so i wore this pack until it fell apart and the zipper completely broke. when a friend hoooked me up with a new pack, and brother gave me a medical reserve pack, i saw an opportunity to keep mah beloved squirrel pack and went to work... small though it is, this pack carries...

Reposting this from Reddit/r/vagabond: Attention: looking for a theif. My friend Jesse Carlson was in a hitchhiker ride in Georgia , when he took a piss at the gas station, they drove away with his dog, gear and banjo. Happened an hour ago. The guys name is Seth, he is 28, and has a tattoo of...

Thought I'd share this whit you guys, if anybody's into hiking or being lightweight this is a great idea! Basically it's a Backpack - waterproof and all, with a build in Bivy to sprout right out its opening! Though a bit pricey I think it's a brilliant idea, and it's made by a traveller!

Okay so like I'm about to be homeless so I figure I might as well make the most of it. I'm gonna take what little money I have and book it. Problem is I'm not entirely sure what I should spend on and what I'll be okay with out. I already have a shitty tent and sleeping bag and a duffel bag I can...

Wow cant believe I didnt find this sooner. Really like the idea of it being light. http://bushcraftusa.com/forum/threads/diy-pvc-alice-pack-frame-for-3.51774/

I've been researching panniers to purchase and came across these high quality (and high priced) ones that convert into a backpack! They're made by https://www.pannierbackpacks.com in Colorado. I'm just trying to decide if I would ever need to quickly convert to backpack mode from bike touring mode.

Hey, you'll maybe know that i want to travel through asia for about a year. Can you recommand any? What should i do to be (more) save from thiefs and robbers? How big should it be? Thanks

My pack came in today and I'm curious what I can do about these orange straps. I'm really not interested in taking the time to Sharpie them. Would black RIT dye hold?

I just learned that LL Bean opened here in my town so I took my old ratty ass 65L pack to the store and asked to exchange it because the inside material was delaminating and the frame was missing a screw. Well the girl at the counter tried offering me $15 at first. I declined, and said I spent...

I'm still lugging around my old medium hellcat ALICE pack that @Bl3wbyyou kicked down to me two years ago. I'm looking into aftermarket frames now because the heavy ass frame on this thing takes it's toll on my back, but otherwise it's a perfect pack. I'm looking at this one right now...

So I'm housed up at my cousin's for a sec to do some work before going back to the desert and I found some weird shit in the family army surplus stock and am re-doing my setup. I'm not sure if I'm on some straight wingnut shit with this idea, but it's so damn comfortable I'm likely to stick with...

So I have this super fancy pack (thanks sis, for slaving away at MEC and getting me sweet deals and free shit), and it's got lots of fun stuff like pockets and zippers and good back support for my broken back and all that. Problem is, it looks fancy as fuck, and it does not get dirty, I don't...

So its looking like June first I'm heading out to travel, I plan on traveling at least 6 months to a year. Bought a Medium Alice pack with frame bc my large Alice pack got lost over the years when moving. I've been packing items from around the house I feel May be useful as I find em. So far I...

I spent all last month hitchhiking across the US. I made this video in order to share my experience regarding everything I took along, in hopes of helping others who plan on doing similar hitchhiking trips.

Okay, so my backpack has been like this for a while now, but I finally got annoyed and decided to try and fix it, but I have no idea how... the top pouch is way too much to the front, leaving my main pouch exposed to rain etc. But the adjustment straps are as tight as can be. Both front and back...

Stopped in my home town for a bit after I wrecked my car. Now that I'm back on foot I have to find myself something better than a rucksack with a couple of tied-on straps I salvaged from a pack rotting near a yard. Army surplus here wants $60 for an ALICE without a frame, $100 with frame. The...

http://3mules.com He's striving for change and a little leeway of movement in our closed off mindless slave America. To even sleep somewhere, with respect and cleanliness as he does, still doesn't suffice. Look at his site and see how many convictions this poor old guy has to suffer due to...

this thread goes out to all the ladies out there! i'm writing section of the StP book about what kinds of clothes to take on your travels, and while i have the guy stuff easily covered, i'd like to include a few tips for the ladies who will be reading the book. so what i'm wondering is, what are...

Hello everybody, Recently I posted a DIY backpack project (Linyera Backpack Project) and been traveling around with it successfully. Now im stayin for long in Oslo and decided to make a new version with what I have learned. Considering that I got now a sewing machine and loads of recycled...

You all know you want it. Haha
