ILBE, cheap and effective. I've gotten to use plenty of $800 dead birds and sure they felt a bit nicer and were much lighter than anything surplus it wasn't enough to convince me not to use it on the AT and 14ers. >small
Any 2-3 day you like the look of and can get a good deal on. Years ago I got a last years model osprey 2 day for pennies on the dollar and it's held up to my retarded ass going butt first down anything steeper than a handicap ramp.
I had an ILBE, nice pack and paid it 180 along with the assault pack, now I sold them both and got a MR, it’s more comfortable and I like the design more, but if we’re talking money the quality price ratio favors the ILBE
Destination? At least once a year because I live on the gulf there's not much for elevation. I'm headed to Pikes Peak this summer for two weeks. Everything else is just when I get the time. I'll do a 20+ over the weekend in national parks or sometimes just set up a hammock and sleep and do day hikes. Average probably 8 weekends worth of dedicated/camping away from civilization. Tent camping somewhere public in a site probably 10.
My problem is that I work so at most I can do 1 day and 3/4 in the weekend, a night more if I bring my ruck to work and then on Friday go straight to the woods, I’d like to do a week when I have vacation
I feel that, I usually don't make a full weekend but if I'm going to be at home reading a book for a day and a half I'm taking that book to the woods. I'm lucky with a few decent places in all directions within a few hours drive. So I make the effort if at all possible. I live alone and my work is fairly unobtrusive past friday afternoon and my chores are minimal so I'm luckier than most. Work, gym, camp, shitpost. It's a simple life but it works. It took me the first 5 years of big boy job to get this schedule down and it's not easy, but damn if you don't feel better for it.
And ofc if you do all the weekend then you can’t do anything else, but you don’t have to go every weekend tho.
For now I have no friends so there’s a smaller opportunity cost but I’d like to change this situation
Based. All the other days are just larping haven't even gone 5miles in full gear do they intend to. It's just chicks collecting expensive handbags they'll end up selling on ebay when a new one comes along
A solid 100L backpack is the most I would ever need for going out in the wilderness and surviving for a long time, I can even fit my fully assembled rifle inside or strapped to the side. I can fit mags, tarp, sleeping bag, water filter, food, socks, and so on.
I can just walk into the wilderness with a weapon and bushcraft a shelter, as well as fish and hunt, or even make my own weapon for free out of natural materials. But a pack makes sense if you are setting up camp or you are being deployed to a base to sleep and fight for a long time.
Redneck people like us were raised to do things like catch a fish with just bait and your bare hand, or hunt and dress and skin and clean deer by yourself, then grill deer steaks on a frying pan over an open flame.

How much do you actually hike a year? Just curious. With gear of course
