Wat do?
if you're a manlet. PrepHoleside is not safe. You don't need a backpack to post on 4chins.
He just needs it to sit on.
>gets gutted by armed hobbits
you need to go back (to the shire)
>if you're a manlet. PrepHoleside is not safe
manlets are built for the outdoors wdym
>consume less
>low center of gravity
>resistant to hard falls and serious injuries that result from that
>more stamina
>easier to blend in
this isn't manlet cope btw since I'm 6'1. I say this as a former marine and having been with many manlets during my tours overseas
do manlets in the service put out more than the civilians?
>I say this as a former marine and having been with many manlets during my tours overseas
i believe you
>shitty no-name pack
That’s your problem. Good packs come in varying sizes based on torso length. Small, medium, and large don’t refer to skinny, average, and fat.
Blackjack 35 from mystery ranch it has load lifters like military rucks and is made to sit high to avoid a chest rigso the bottom is above the small of your back not your hips
>one size fits all
60 day return policy. I hope you don’t have to go to battle before you can swap it out.
Have you tried just adjusting like you would adjust a normal backpack.
Because I doubt hip belts go on their ribs just because they are "high speed low drag internet operating operators".
don't buy military design packs which are designed to fit the average soldier, who is a lot larger than you. that stuff is low quality designed for lowest common denominator. get something actually made for hiking with proper sizing.
its not about manlet by the way its your torso length. you can be above 6' and have a shitty torso length it happens.
a basic entry level pack with custom sizing looks like this https://www.ula-equipment.com/product/ohm/
looks like a penus from the front
assert your dominance
and yes if you click "build your own" you can buy the backpack i linked in forest camo or olive drab xpac. you can't avoid having the black on it so it won't be actual effective camo but if your goal is to just look low key and not annoying it hits the mark.
>build your own
what if I literally want to build my own? I have an idea for a backpack and want to make a prototype. do I just literally start sewing piece of fabric together? how do I attach zippers to it?
can someone please point me in the right direction? you might end up wanting to buy it someday
that's totally an option anon. i'm just starting to learn how to do it myself, making your own backpack and gear is truly the endgame its just a massive time investment to learn.
unironically reddit /r/MYOG and ultralighter forums like backpackinglight are the best even if the end goal of what you're making isn't ultralight. it seems like that's the only crowd of people who care enough to make their own shit. just search "MYOG" which means "Make Your Own Gear" and you'll find shit online.
also i forgot the url but you'll find it eventually i'm sure. there's a website that's sort of like a marketplace for templates, which you can buy and then modify to your liking. i suggest starting with easy shit like fanny packs and water bottle holders when learning templating, its hard. the sewing part is easy.
you also have to kind of sperg about materials science but thats no big deal.
>you also have to kind of sperg about materials science
can you elaborate more on this?
there's all kinds of fabrics you can make your pack out of. sky's kind of the limit. here's just one commonly used supplier for myog as an example of what's out there https://ripstopbytheroll.com/
most of the materials we use for PrepHole are originally designed and engineered to be sail materials for yachts and stuff.
thanks anon
If you wanna start making your own gear, I recommend starting with some of the DIY accessory kits from Ripstop by the roll.
If you don’t have a machine yet, I recommend getting a Singer Heavy Duty.
There are a few different sub-models of those, get the one with the fewest stitch variations.
I’m pretty sure that’s the cheapest one, and you will only need to use the zig-zag and straight stitch anyways.
>Singer Heavy Duty
i'm really interested in doing this, and also leatherwork. but it's kinda pricey. especially since I've never done it before. what do you think about a refurbished one?
is sewing by hand just completely out of the question?
>refurbished
Sure, Walmart sells them for only $120 and still offers a three year warranty
oh, that's not so bad. was looking at singers website initially
>tactical
There's your mistake
Virtually all backpacks are for manlets. Stores only stock packs in size M for some reason. A lot of them don't even come in a larger size.
t. 6'0" with 21" torso and deeply annoyed
>t. 6'0"
so, t. manlet ?
lmfao
Mystery Ranch is a meme brand.
Osprey Atmos 65 is the best backpacking backpack for a weekend. Their anti gravity shit is legit. Have had the same pack since 2016 and will never have to buy another pack. Well worth the money
have you considered leg lengthening surgery?
