Is this a thinly-veiled ultralightfag thread?
>tfw I bought a 50l pack and I'm afraid it's too small for 2-3 day backpacking
No.145
>>143My winter sleeping bag would more or less fill that backpack out. Then I also need to attach a tarp and a sleeping mat. I would need food and water, my Trangia for cooking, extra clothes/layering for the nights and cold mornings. I would bring knife/small axe depending on the situation, a head lamp and maybe some entertainment (like pipe & tobacco, hip flask with rum, a journal etc.)
So no, if I am to go for more than 1 day even with minimal stuff a 30L pack would not do it for me here in the winter. I might JUST be able to in the summer where I can do with a much smaller sleeping bag and less clothes
No.146
OP here -
The only problem with this bag is that it's not waterproof (problem easily solved by using a cover or a poncho).
Ah, and that shitty camelback opening, useful only for carrying the small stuff (hygiene/health bag, underwear, socks, tools, etc.).
I must admit that 20l is a small space and a 30l backpack would make life easier, but I managed to carry everything i needed (sleeping bag, tarp, hammock, knife, a 2 person cooking set, winter clothes, food, wine, a 75cl water canteen, a ukulele, etc.) by minimizing bullshit and using an army belt around the core, which allowed me to hang a few things outside of the pack (mainly knife, sleeping bag, ukulele and water canteen); mat has been cut, rolled and hung on those elastic rings near the bottom of the pack, turning it into a bumper to protect fragile things (such as wine bottle).
Wondering if you can live the glorious life and stop buying backpacks bigger you?
Just pull down your pants and check your gonads:
- You have testes: you are a man, enjoy a glorious life of minimalism, adventure, sex with different women across countries, not depending on material possessions
- You have ovaries: maybe take another purse, just in case your makeup bag is not big enough for all the things you "need" to carry

Your kinda acting like an idiot. You made the thread yourself acting all edgy (I try to not use that word, but it suites you) and then calling people that disagree with you butthurt. My point is you started the discussion, not us.
And then you post this pic of your setup which frankly looks like shit. It is not like you have to be an absolute gear-fag to know your stuff but you really dont give the expression that you're experienced. Especially When you trash talk like you do.

Personally I use a NI 38l patrol pack
although I really have to cram in the main pouch when I put in my bivi and sleeping bag. I just ordered a compression sack so that should give me some more space if my stuff fits. and I bought a slightly smaller basha to save a bit more room. then I have my tarp, cam net and shovel (just bought an external pouch for the shovel) then in the pouch zip compartments I have medical shit, carabiners, ziplocks and usually food and sanitation shit as well as some electricals in a dry bag. My side pouches usual have my knife, paracord, poncho, hat, gardening gloves, hexi cooker, canteen and whatever other shit I can't remember.
