What's a good backpack for all my survival needs?
And I'm talking about big ass backpacks. Not these daypacks for a single day innawoods. I wanna survive for weeks to come. Or atleast stuff a month worth of clothing into it.
Now that I made this thread I realised this belongs more to /out/ than /k/.
I'm sorry.

>I want to survive for weeks innawoods.
Let me ask you a question: What is your prior innawoods experience? Because if it's essentially none, going from "0" to "weeks self sustaining" is a huge fucking jump.

I have an ILBE I got for next to nothing, it's great.

Sure you do, fatfuck
Berghaus Atlas Cyclops II
Great 100L+ backpack. Used by multiple armies worldwide, the german KSK uses it.
Can be had as surplus for 160$
All these /k/ringey idiots telling you that you don't need a big backpack should fuck off
Greetings from /out/

uh i don't think you get how survival works. you would bring 1 item per layer with the exception of base shirt, underwear, and socks you can bring a spare to alternate with.
You need to design a fully layered outfit and have a spare of that. Three sets of socks, one day one night/next morning. Same for compression shorts.

Look no further than the Flextrek Whipsnake.

I humped an ILBE in the grunts for years. I'm not saying they are bad bags, but I'm sure there's better for the money.
The plastic clips tend to break on you. I hopped over a tiny Creek and the clip attaching to one of my shoulders broke. Which of course swung the weight of my pack and made me fall. Also the zippers on the top pouch are notorious for going bad. Nothing that can't be fixed or made operational with 550 cord, but considering its not that cheap I'm sure there's better to be had.
Remember military contractors are lowest bidders.

Underrated
Look at Osprey backpacks. They have a lifetime warranty and are super well build. Idk about colors though.
I think a better question is how much can you carry and over what distance?
I do backcountry hiking and camp innawoods on a monthly basis around Missouri. There's lots of elevation change and the trails are rugged. You will get tired. You will get wet. It will take on some sections of the Ozark Trail one hour to cover just one mile.
You want a month of clothing and not water filtration/storage and extra food?
I think you need to visit REI, find out what back is best for your needs, get fitted for a backpack and go from there. It really isn't recommended to carry more than 20-40% of your body weight. I personally do not carry more than 25-40 lbs depending on how long I am outside.
Good luck and enjoy. Actually do go innawoods and test all the gear you buy.
64 pattern ruck sack. I think alice is what the us calls it
