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

2019-09-09 08:09:38 UTC  

But like honestly

2019-09-09 08:09:48 UTC  

If you walk around with that huge thing without needing to

2019-09-09 08:09:55 UTC  

You're gonna look like a tool

2019-09-09 08:10:08 UTC  

So just get a normal backpack if all you need to carry is 15kg

2019-09-09 08:10:38 UTC  

hmm, you make a good point, I was thinking of getting two then

2019-09-09 08:10:42 UTC  

one for 50 kg and one for 20kg

2019-09-09 08:11:13 UTC  

I have my ruck, my regular backpack, and a chink hiking pack on the way

2019-09-09 08:11:41 UTC  

Ruck easily usable for hiking but expensive if I lose or break it

2019-09-09 08:33:52 UTC  

for love of god what ever you do dont get old alice bags

2019-09-09 08:34:01 UTC  

they are torture devices straight from hell
