Chinese leatherwork is cheap as shit

2019-09-09 07:57:39 UTC  

But you wanted a large capacity bag @androidcrawler ?

2019-09-09 07:57:44 UTC  

For what purpose?

2019-09-09 07:58:17 UTC  

If backpacking, leather is a big nono because of shitty weight ratio and poor weight distribution

2019-09-09 07:58:26 UTC  

I meant carrying large weights around

2019-09-09 07:58:34 UTC  

I know

2019-09-09 07:58:36 UTC  

Doing what

2019-09-09 07:58:56 UTC  

well since I want a bag to abuse I guess hiking needs would be a good standard

2019-09-09 07:59:07 UTC  

No

2019-09-09 07:59:17 UTC  

What exactly do you need a 50kg bag for

2019-09-09 07:59:19 UTC  

also i was going to get it make from a local leatherworker

2019-09-09 07:59:29 UTC  

carrying shit to my workplace

2019-09-09 07:59:48 UTC  

but something I could use in general

2019-09-09 07:59:48 UTC  

The fuck are you carrying on your back that weighs 50kg

2019-09-09 08:00:01 UTC  

as I said before my current max load is around 10-13kg

2019-09-09 08:00:06 UTC  

but I want something future proof

2019-09-09 08:00:23 UTC  

just in case

2019-09-09 08:00:31 UTC  

The only thing that is really gonna hold that kind of weight without fucking up your back or falling apart is a proper military rucksack

2019-09-09 08:00:34 UTC  

Not chink

2019-09-09 08:00:39 UTC  

The kind you pay up for

2019-09-09 08:00:53 UTC  

10-13kg anything can do that

2019-09-09 08:01:03 UTC  

this

2019-09-09 08:01:07 UTC  

?

2019-09-09 08:02:23 UTC  

Weak frame if any

2019-09-09 08:02:43 UTC  

If you're going to put anything heavy in there it's going to be worn via the shoulder sling

2019-09-09 08:02:51 UTC  

And don't do that it's shitty

2019-09-09 08:05:10 UTC  

Look when you go hiking you want to minimize weight

2019-09-09 08:05:24 UTC  

But have a pack with high volume to store your shit

2019-09-09 08:05:40 UTC  

Good tents and sleeping bags occupy the same space but with less weight

2019-09-09 08:05:48 UTC  

Bags are designed with this in mind

2019-09-09 08:06:11 UTC  

Weight-bearing packs either have really tough internal frames or external frames

2019-09-09 08:06:35 UTC  

I see, so I am looking for a pack with a strong frame first and foremost

2019-09-09 08:06:42 UTC  

If you don't actually need to carry 50kg then don't plan on it

2019-09-09 08:07:03 UTC  

If you want a super strong pack look into high grade western rucksacks

2019-09-09 08:07:10 UTC  

Or old alice packs on ebay

2019-09-09 08:07:52 UTC  

You can get giant and reliable us army rucks for like $70 on ebay

2019-09-09 08:08:52 UTC  

Or similar designs

2019-09-09 08:09:13 UTC  

I'm US Army, I know what we have. Other countries have these or their own variants.

2019-09-09 08:09:22 UTC  

thanks for the advice man
