backpacks

Had me an 80's style Fanny Pack for a while until it finally gave out on me. I can keep all my essentials in there. Toothbrush/Paste, Phone charger, chap stick, pen, lighter, ganja (if i got it), tobacco (I don't smoke, bu I always seem to have some), ID's, Dog papers. I could probably lose...

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I'm somewhat new so I've never gone out in the winter. I usually have a medium rucksack on my back but I'm gonna get a large alice pack so I can fit a bigger sleeping bag and whatever else to make me more comfortable this winter. I'm not sure what I could bring to make me warmer though. I have...

Hey everyone! Has anyone here had any experience with the North Face Prophet series backpacks? I'm looking to nab the Prophet 40 and to put my Marmot Cloudbreak 30 sleeping bag (With compression sack) and Black Diamond Big Wall bivy sack in. This is my first time purchasing gear and I am...

So I'm thinking I need a grip. I will been heading out this wed and I feel I need a grip. I don't wanna have ta rifle through my pack for my ryo's or my other goods I need at a moments notice. I also don't like the idea of having to carry any more than I have to....help please!?

I have heard and seen a few people use these before but have never used one myself they are waterproof and supposedly "life proof" any thoughts on them for urban travels?

This isn't especially relevant to train hopping, but its the basics that work for most situations. I'm in Europe. I've traveled through most all of western southern and eastern Europe, some of Russia and Mongoliaa, Turkey a little of north Africa all by hitch hiking, fare dodging, a lot of...

Just stumbled across this and thought I should share this brilliance with ya'all -- i will definitely be trying to do something similar to this -- maybe the alice on one side and sleep sack on the other... Source: http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2012/11/praxis-military-bike-bags.html

Can’t decide whether to try and make my own perfect backpack or if that’s more trouble than it’s worth… I’d want it to close with a drawstring and then have a flap over to top. Maybe a couple of side-pockets and some straps to attach roll mat on the top. Capacity enough to fit my sleeping bag...

Anyone travel or have pack critters? I.E. pack goats or burros or mules? I've been thinking a lot about a pack goat or small burro. I've spent a good bit of time just walking while on the road before, by choice. I get sick of hitching real quick after all the time I've spent doing it on the road...

I've never run into anyone that uses them, and I'm looking into one as the pack I have now is a little bit too big for easy hopping. And by little I mean 80 liters. Also have an old Osprey 34 at a friends but it's got a curved internal with a mesh screen. Great for the summer, not great for...

These things aren't necessarily IN your pack. Like personally I prefer sunglasses to be on my face. :) anyways yeah, these are some things I try to always have while on an extended journey.. Which is every journey. P.s. I tend to wander off the beaten path so if you're always in cities some of...

Two free backpacks available in the Toledo area. I'm big on the 'if you can't use it, give it away' thing. I won't accept money for these, or anything in barter. One is a 3 day Condor assault pack, coyote tan. Light pack, good for overnights and short trips. Has room for a hydration system but...

I think this should be known these packs use to cost $500 new and are US made.I picked up mine for $75 shipped to my door with the lid and radio compartment.I would highly reccomend these packs as they have just dropped in value on ebay as of recently you can score one for $35-$45 shipped to...

(so any criticism is needed/wanted) here's a pack I'm thinking of getting: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HIMPYO/

Anyone know how to fix one of these? Keep trying to pop the pinch part back in place but it wont stay in place.
