new daypack suggestions and pack p orn

[Oldbloke]

The markhor has a stabiliser strap that meets roughly centre of the chest that holds it in place properly. You might want to try adding one

OK, think I understand

btw fellas, fpr anyone who has seen a ridgeline in the flesh, what is beech colour? Different photos of 'beech daypacks' appear anywhere from tan to a milder olive drab. Hoping its more to the green/olive side of things in real life

I do like the hip belt pockets on those markhours. I could put a lot of crap in there, including ammo. There used to be a karrimor sabre 30 pack which actually reminds me a bit of the markour but double straps and even larger belt pockets. it went out of production in the late 2010's or Id have one

TBO, I don't think colour is a huge deal.
Any dull, drab colour is OK.

Just avoid:
White
Blue.

just ditched the ridgline idea, blaze orange interior, ugh. Not that Im trying to do covert missions with it, but not overly keen on that amount of color splash whenever I open a pack.

Some bright bastard engineer designed it. Lol

TBH, if you just looking for a basic back pack, almost any will do the job.
Plenty on ebay or Amazon under $50

Mick,
Did you buy a pack?

Bought a new pack. A Tasmanian Tiger modular daypack Xl. It's 23l so fine for bushwalking and hunting , but in the tight side for overnighters and hotelling for business but can attach a range of other stuff to it. Only 825grams, 170 bucks from wild earth.

Cancelled the order, has that rubber Lazer cut molle on the front. Moulds up too fast, buggar

Markhor !

OK, current pack is about the size of a kids school back pack. Did some simple measuring and, surprise, surprise, about 25 l.
Plenty big enough.

I really like the idea but not the price.

My use is mainly for occassional short walks for sit & waits. So, not a lot of use. Getting older so don't do the 10k - 15km walks I used to do. More like 1-5km

So, thought I'd try something. Try before i buy.

Looks like this will work, at least to try a few times.

I just folded up the other straps and taped them up out of the way.

Been using a shoulder/messenger bag for years. But sometimes lacks in carrying capacity.

Tried this out yesterday for about 4 hours wandering around in fallow country. Just having a 10 minute break after another 2 hours.

This idea is worth a try.
Never liked back pack because they interfere with shooting. This works for me. It's just a cheap pack. An additional advantage is I can just untape the other slung and use it as a normal pack.

Markhor !

Nice pics again mate. IReminds us why we are on these forums.


Anyway I ended up getting the tasmanian tiger XL 23L modular after all , un-cancelled the order lol. The lazercut molle is cordura as well as the body. Though it was a rubber hybrid crapola but it isnt.

Bit more pack pron, my main pack Lowe Alpine Sting, Dutch army issue. 55-60L and adjustable length back ladder which is a big plus for gorillas
