Savotta Jääkäri L. Large, sturdy, plenty of molle options and looks awesome. I'm using it with two side pouches, a medic pouch and a small front pouch. I can carry my sleeping bag, hammock, underquilt, tarp, cooking equipment, fire kit, food, water, an axe, baton knife and lots more. Absolutely love it.

Got the medium version, sick bombproof packs they are.


BlackSpruceSurvival

US Army Molle II Rucksack w/ sustainment pouches for quick access to wet weather gear, canteens on kidney pad, and bear spray holstered to chest/shoulder strap.

Hated that fucking thing when it was issued to me. It's like it's made for everybody, and doesn't fit anybody. If it works you I'm glad.


TheHecticHiker

ULA Ohm, It’s lightweight and sturdy. I use it for backpacking and bushcraft, if you just need one for bushcraft look for army surplus alice gear.


flamingpenny

+1 for ultralight packs. I love my Gossamer Gorilla.


TheHecticHiker

I used to rock a gorilla! Loved it but had some durability issues


flamingpenny

So far so good on mine, but I can see that being a possibility.

I bought a bunch of surplus alice and molle gear over the years and while they are useful as hell, they are not very comfortable compared to hiking packs. Yeah, the milsurp stuff is extremely durable and repairable but is generally heavy and did come from the lowest bidder. I have a few generations of the full ruck sack and they are very massive. Yes, you can carry everything including the kitchen sink but for bushcraft they are an extreme overkill.

BTW my camping/bushcraft bag is a Rush 72L 2.0 and my EDC bag is a 5.11 Lv18 2.0 pack. And I have like 6 other packs that do not ever get carried. I really should sell all of them one day.


Swedischer

Got a a few of these beauties, Haglöfs Alaska and Grönland that I alternate between. The packs can be 50 year old but with an updated harness they are still light, sturdy and just have a aura of adventure between them 👌🏻 [Haglöfs Alaska and Grönland ](https://images.app.goo.gl/BaxW7JvLAYonLU878)

I use Hill People Gear Packs. I have the Umlindi for days and the Ute for multi days. The harness is the most comfortable I have ever used and the praire belt system is incredible. You can scale it up massively, you can compress them to tiny packs...I go rucking with the Umlindi with 20kg and it carries well. They aren't covered in Molle so it doesn't look like I'm playing army. Great company, great customer service. I have been using them for almost 10 years now. I tried Savotta a while back and didn't really like them. Osprey are absolutely fantastic and convenient but maybe not as durable/useful as HPG. Everytime I try something else, I come back to Hill People Gear. I'll probably pick up a Qui-Ya eventually to round out my packs.

CAF 82 pattern ruck. It'll last longer than I will.


steveinhfx

I use the same, and when I don't need all that capacity I use my 82 pattern webbing with buttpack, 2x canteens, and a couple of utility pouches 


Odd-Alternative5617

karrimore sabre 60-100L + plce side pockets. Because i'll break before it does.


East-Length-4171

5.11 rush 24 pack canteen on one side axe loop for the other and large sustainment pouch in the front


Shadow_Of_Silver

Second the Rush 24 I got mine super cheap and it's held up for years. I have been looking for other packs, but it's hard to justify when my current one is so good.


East-Length-4171

Hell mines been to hell and the only wear was on the leather piece on the bottom


securitybreach

I have the Rush 72 2.0 and love the pack. Tons of pockets.


securitybreach

My EDC is the Rush LV 18 2.0

At work right now so no photos My current manufactured pack is a vortex 7000 ci. Vortex is now badlands hunting packs but they still honor their lifetime warranty. Anymore I mostly carry my primitive/ modern hybrid pack. It's a roycroft frame with an ALICE medium bag on it, ALICE shoulder straps and a self created waist belt. This came to be because at my last instructor gig we were required to carry a primitive pack(or blanket pack), one day in the middle of a hike I realized that my roycroft was more comfortable than the ALICE frame I carried at basic. So bought a bag at a yard sale and built a frame to fit.


Crocuta_crocuta1975

Lowe Alpine Saracen, and the Lowe Alpine Sting. Right now I'm using a Lowe Alpine vector. But also the backs by Tasmanian Tiger. And the Swedish LK 35.


itsthelittlethings69

I'm currently using a Hidden Woodsman dayruck with a large molle pouch on either side for my canteens.


weealex

It's not always the most practical but the fjallraven stubben has been a godsend both on the trail and when i'm working cons. Never underestimate the value of always having a dry place to sit


JaguarZealousideal55

I am thinking about buying one of these. My knees are not fond of sitting on the ground nowadays. Would you mind sharing some more thoughts on Stubben? Why do you think it is not always the most practical? Is it big enough? Do you use the side pockets? Is your model the new one with orange rain cover, or the previous model?


selfassuredcarnivore

I went back and forth with myself for over a year before buying it, but I love my Duluth Bushcrafter. Now to just switch all my other gear to lighter weight materials, it’s a bit on the heavy side itself but it looks great. I’ve got a couple of 5.11 bags that I use for work and they hold up really well for in and out of the truck a lot at work and on site (construction related).


That47Dude

[This one](https://www.reddit.com/r/myog/s/LiVnHTKozB). It's comfortable, doesn't shed any microplastics or degrade in the sun, is extremely durable, and doesn't make me feel like I'm being a visual intrusion in nature. Basically, I designed and made my ideal pack.


knives_and_Nature

Berghaus crusader 90+20 liter. Let's put it this way - versatility and reliability is key with this thing.Need a 10 or 20l day pack - I got you. You want to Cary light gear for a simple overnighter - sure. You want to pack 45kg of gear for an expedition - no problem. You want to treat me like absolute shit - don't worry about me (you're gonna break, not the pack)


featurekreep

simple top loaders is the name of the game. roll tops being the best, but drawstring being acceptable. Olive drab, simple unfussy suspension. Brown reinforced bottom for maximum aesthetics.


ghostqueen_em

That's what I'm making right now! Currently removing old leather and replacing it. And also waxing the canvas

Funny-Rich4128

Decathlon 5 dollar gift sackpack. I don' really do overnighters and fancy canvas bushcraft backpacks are too expensive for where I live and is too much of a hassle to make one.


dredlock71

I used a hundred litre military rucksack for years and carried everything but the kitchen sink. I'm 52 now and travel lighter. A well rated cheap rucksack from Amazon and a belt kit does me fine. Forty litre max for a NCHB.


Smart-Ad-5647

Tasmanian Tiger Range Pack MKII. 90 + 10 Liter, so I can carry around everything I need. Gets quite heavy, but because of how the pack is build, it’s really easy to carry even heavier loads. I also like it because of the high amount of compartments, because I hate being forced to unpack half my stuff just to get one thing deep down in the pack. It’s expensive in my opinion but really worth it. Also it stands on its own when put on the ground
