Back packs and gear

My cousin just found out he will be losing his place to stay within 4-6 months. I told him he needs a frame pack and a MSS to start as well as the basics, mess kit, jet stove and so on. Do any of you know of a good webpage where I could find him some of these items used or new at a decent price? Thanks, Dick

Do you want value or quality? Nothing quite like having gear break down in the middle of nowhere.
I'd go to REI and spend smartly.

The company I work for does engineering projects for the military, So we talk to a lot of soldiers. Right now we are working on something that incorporates a rucksack.
All military personel we have spoken to, agree on this being the best rucksack available

Those are inexpensive at least.
I went to Norcal with a military pack, just a single cargo sack. Also brought a cammo hammock with a diamond cover. Some clothes and some small items.
Nothing broke on me during the trip. That's about as cheap as you can get away with.
My boots were falling apart as well.

Went out with these cheapies. Still have the pack. Hammock is rotting in the forest. Got the gear for a grow. Pack is alright for hauling lot's of stuff. Held up way far better than the cheap ass MOSSAD pack. Zipper on that one broke way to fast. Not hard on the shoulders unless you put nothing but rocks in it. Or very dense pot...lol!

Yes I am from the USA. Thank you for the leads, dude is super broke, we need to get him by for a few months. He is employed and all, a good man, his landlord just gave him 60 day notice with intent to sell the property. Lease is up in March, so he has a few months. Dude just wants to pay off his truck and save money since the weather will be nice where he is. Problem is he lost most of his gear in a house fire during the flooding in boulder in 2014 (i think). Have a good day folks and thanks again Dick

If i was gonna "live" out of a pack, I'd choose my Osprey, they aren't cheap, but they are durable, adjustable, and super comfortable for long period of time. I wouldn't go cheap if I had to carry just about everything i owned in it

Why not find a new place?

That is the plan, he wants to save up for a while and enjoys the adventure of living from his pack. Dick
