Fancy A Good 65L Rucksack For £28?

What a terrific bit of kit this is.
I picked this up today and gave it a trial run by packing it solid and walking a mile and back to the pub earlier.
Totally effortless, very comfy and seems to be very well made.
I'm going to be using it for the coast to coast, but thought I'd share the link for anyone with an eye open for a new BOB, GHB etc.

Cracking deal. Only problem is that if I filled it my old knackered knees and back wouldn't let me walk a hundred yards with it!!!! :lol:

Good deal, cheers for sharing.
I already own far too many rucksacks though, if I buy any more there won't be room for the gear to go in them!

She's getting into rucksacks so it might actually work out well. :D Coincidentally I got my pussers pension in today too so I'm a payday millionaire. Woohoo.

As about rucksacks - https://www.amazon.co.uk/SUNVP-Tactical ... 78&sr=8-57
This is what my wife got me last month. Really good one, can attach some molle pouches. One rucksack is enough for me, it serves as edc (water, first aid kits, tools, multitool, penknife, light, lighter, spare socks, some meds, few cables, battery bank, things like that ;-)) as I don't really believe in bugging out in England ;-) unless you call bugging out going with a visit to your anutie who lives next village ;-)

It was about 36 quid but I got one anyway, still a good price. I'm away next weekend walking so I'll give it a trial run.

Each to their own mate but I'm not a fan of the tactical looking bags, I've got ones about that size but they're more walking bags, not as likely to get noticed/commented on I think.
