I recently purchased a backpack (Women's Axios 48). Even though it was not my size, I tried it on in the store and applied weight to it, it felt like it fit perfect. After getting it home, I put it on again and after some time, I realized that the shoulders are too broad and the hip belt is too...

Get you mind out of the gutter. I said my PACK is too small. And you were about to tell me to buy some Extenz. Seriously though... getting ready to leave I wrote out my packing list, checked it twice, rechecked it against posts on here to see what I was forgetting, then got down to business...

Dig In. Opt-Out.: Packs! Packs! Packs! or The First in a Series of Hopefully None-too-Boring Equipment Based Posts Here's an article I wrote recently about choosing a long-term bush ruck. Mostly common knowledge, but it might help some new kids out. Figured I'd post it here. Hope everyone's warm.
