Sup y'all, I have a MSS but cant really do anything with it because the pack I have now, the main opening is too small and the sleep system in the compression sack is like a basketball and it wont even fit. So I put the black bag in storage and I'm just using the other shit without the compression sack and black bag.
Anyways, I'm getting a new pack soon on ebay. Who here has the sleep system and what pack do you use with it?
I was thinking maybe an external frame would be nice like a kelty pack.
 
By MSS do you mean military sleep system?

I recommend just getting a less bulky sleep setup. A good 20 degree synthetic bag and a lightweight bivvy sack is good, though I've never had a bivvy personally. Just a tarp has worked well enough for me
 
The bivy is awesome though I also have a tarp for when it rains cats and dogs. Some nights it seems like theres no way to stay dry though haha. But on days when it was pouring, I was in my bivy and had a tarp over me and my road dawg and we woke up she was like FUCK IM SOAKED EVERYTHING IS WET FUCK THIS MAN and my head was just wet nothing else really haha. I'd say get one dude the gortex bivy works nice and it can be good for a sleeping bag alone in warmer weather
 
True but sometimes you cant do that without being seen
 
I just use a couple of carabiners to clip the stuff sack to the bottom of my osprey atmos cause I have the same problem with the top hole being to small.
 
Sometimes those spots are the only spots, there aint woods everywhere yknow specially when you get near big cities and industrial areas.
This isnt the advice I'm asking though

A tarp which matches the background colors and is suspended at shallow angles to the observer isn't extremely visible.

A blue walmart tarp, peaked in the middle with the sides touching the ground is a fuzz magnet.
 
Gitchu camo tarp. Found me one for cheap. MSS good to go. Treat it with NIKWAX. Then good. Gypsie PornStarr get you a medium ALICE and strapp that MSS to the top Baby.

I gotta get a new pack anyways thats why I asked on what pack would be good for the sleep system. trying to figure out what pack not figure out a new sleep setup
 
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink...

I only offer advice based on many years of being a tramp on the road.

But you know better right.

Ok well, you have a military sleep system. Get a military pack. They go hand in hand.
