backpacks

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...

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...
