Post your backpack! * 2

Are you an ounce counting Ultra light kinda person? Or are you like me and prefer to pack the kitchen sink?

My parents just surprise hooked me up with a new pack for getting good grades and just not being a "fuck-up" in general. I got an REI Mars 80L (4,800 cu. in). I'm going to packing all sorts of random comforts in this baby. I'm even thinking about bringing a full sized pillow on my 80+ mile trip, just  for the extra comfort.

(expands much more)

well this is an extended stay pack. It's intended for stays of 7-14 days without resupply in the wilderness. I have to carry changes of close, a full bearkeg, a lot of propaine, jackets for high sierra weather, rope, my small hookah, sandals, but that is basically it. I do also tend to go backpacking with my girlfriend and in that case I need to carry a lot of stuff so it's always nice to  have a giant pack. I could buckle this thing down to the size of a 40L quite easily

I'm a "kitchen sink" kinda guy.  I have a Gregory 'Shasta'.  Its a discontinued model (I've had mine since the 90s).  Its about 5000 cu in.  When fully loaded for a 2 week excursion I can run over 40 pounds pretty easily.  But that pack has never once caused me discomfort, even loaded that heavy.  I tried a few other packs before it and never was as comfortable with even half that much weight.  Some guys really get into the whole lightweight thing but I like to pack along all my extra shit.  Carrying the weight was always a fair trade off to have my amenities at camp that evening.





:werd: I love getting to camp with many pairs of socks, my hookah, plenty of extra food and any extra's that pop into my head. 5k cubic inches is a lot man.



edit: just saw this picture man that backpack is a tank! You could fit a trio of 7 year olds in that thing!:thumbup:

Couldn't of said it better myself :thumbup: I actually learned all three of these the hard way and paid for it by mother Sierra handing me my ass on a platter. Was quite the experience.

Ouch! boots falling apart on the trail, talk about a shitty situation. I forgot my boots one time and got 200 miles from my house to realize I only had on skate shoes. Was not fun.  first time backpacking up in Mineral king at 12,000 feet I brought a fucking 45-50 degree rated camping sleeping bag. Worst decision of my life. There is not a more a helpless feeling in the world than that of being freezing in your sleeping bag at 11pm knowing it's only going to get colder for 8 more hours.

actually we will all be carrying bear kegs, they don't allow you to hang your food in most of the area's we are going through. But yes, I always bring >100 feet of small, but strong rope. We never know why we will need it when we take off but we always end up needing it somehow.

Osprey really seem to be top notch backpacks. Every one I look at just looks perfectly designed and well thought out. I have mostly thought highly of High Sierra backpacks, but my buddy had 2 straps on his break (chest strap and an accessory strap), he did have the kitchen sink packed into a 63L though.. so maybe it was over it's designed weight limit.

That thing looks beastly! Nice to know if some sort of apocolyptic scenario ever takes place, you can probably fit enough peanut butter and dried milk in that thing to last a year!

You know I was going to buy a Kelty, they were on sale at the REI near my house. They certainly are nice backpacks. The guy at the store loaded it with 35-40 lbs of sandbags and let me try it on, it held the weight really well. I'm satisfied with my Mars 80L though. REI has a great warranty on it, and all in all they are one of my favorite companies. (USAA is also another great company)
