100 years ago I was looking for a day pack for hunting. I wanted enough room for a big water bottle, some sammiches and knives, ammo, fire starting and misc. crap… and that’s it! I wanted something light and most importantly - comfortable. I didn’t have access to or knowledge of military surplus options and ended up with an expensive boutique asspack - Fjallraven or some damned thing… and it works great (it damned well should for the price I paid for it) - but the price tag stung a bit and it was a complete misery breaking the damned thing in!
I like the Corporal’s solution. He goes through assembling the same thing for half the price with surplus parts off Amazon and flea bay. It’s a flexible set up and you can adjust the components to suit your particular wants and needs.
It’s perfect. Ya got enough stuff for an easy day afield and maybe the bare bones necessary to get you through an unexpected night outside too. This’d be a great project to share with the kids if they want something like this. Poosted for general interest - I wish I’d seen something like this 20 years ago when I was in the market for it. You don’t have to spend stupid money to get good gear like this.
Hunting season’s coming up fast, boys. I think I’ll be taking to the field this year too! Maybe we’ll see ya out there!
Cheers,
Filthie
