The one that fits you better under load.

Btw. there is no legal wild camping in Europe, save for Scandinavia, Scotland and Switzerland, so do your research and/or learn about stealth camping.

Cool thx , i am more worried about the quality and durability, I know osprey is popular but is it overated ? Will a Mec backpack last a long time ?

This is the 5th backpack thread in the catalog an the others are nowhere near their bump limit. Does /out/ not have a Janitor?

Shit in the ocean

Your mother kept me too busy for that

Brasil truly is beautiful, irmão.

it was cool. though at times you could really use some stabilisation. really liked the lapse in the end.

It's a good first try for sure,
but as >>710048 said stabilisation would definitely improve the overall viewing experience.
What a lovely part of the world though.

Yo op have you done some of the famous hike like trolltunga, preikestolen and such ? Overall, do you have any tips about backpacking in Norway in summer (ie What should I wear, etc) ? Thanks

So that's a common complaint with the Pilot series. There are a lot of guides on how to fix it, but the issue is actually user error. Did it come with a manual? On the back page it should be able to tell you an appropriate board to post this on, like toys or whatever, instead of posting on a board that has literally nothing to do with paintball, you useless waste of oxygen

>>709292
The asshole op already started this very same thread on /asp/ but was too impatient to wait for replies

You're a dick

sage

> herbs are considered "outdated medicine"

pharmaceutical companies

that's the technoptimistic positivist mindset for you

doctor sez thing = gud
people do thing for literal millenia = veri baad

I mean personally, i this medical technology is great. have you seen those videos where some people have robotic limbs? that stuff is fantastic, now just think if we can have that by the bulk. that would be the best thing since germ theory.
but you cant really call chemicals in capsules as technology, it really is just BadHerbs

I use waterproof stuff sacks in various sizes.

First aid: one of those semi-disposable cheap cellphone bags for my smaller kit for day hikes and paddling. My bigger kit came in a ziplock bag inside a waterproof nylon pouch and it's usually inside a backpack made of coated fabric.

Camera and other electronics: Pelican case when I'm on the water. Plastic bags otherwise.

In general: roll top drybags, with stuff that really needs to stay dry in ziplocks because rolltops can leak if submerged, on boat trips. Inside plastic bags in my backpack if hiking.

> I think a case like pic related would be good for a first aid kit (except its not waterproof)
Funny, I was just thinking the same thing, until I looked up the price this morning. The case would cost about 4 times as much as the contents.

>not waterproof
Pelican cases are IPX7 M8

I use a LOT of ziplocs - cheap, lightweight, disposable.
My packs are water-resistant enough that I don't usually worry about water ingress from rain/snow, but a ziploc keeps things together and dry (things like toilet paper, bandages, meds... things that get messy or unuseable when wet). Also nice to keep things together like rope/carabiners.

Do have a bunch of Pelican cases for equipment/instruments as I travel.
They also make great luggage - Easy to identify, tough as fuck, and baggage handlers think it's equipment/instruments so it's often hand-delivered to the oversize baggage area before the carousel even starts up.

>Hard drives (backups) fit real nice in the orange one
>Smallest black one fits a 1/2-width 2U instrument (DMM, Freq. counter, function generator, USRP, GPS simulator) along with cables nicely
>Tan one's for all my camera gear
>Gray one's for 2-3 day business trips or full-width equipment (service monitor, logic an, spec an)
>Black one's good for a week's travel or full-width equipment+tools
>Biggest black one's ... just big. Fits even my largest equipment (Cellular test set, network analyzer) or two standard full-width instruments. Case alone is 30lbs...

Thought about getting an SD-card pelican case, instead I bought a bulk pack of the cheap plastic clamshell cases (like 100 of the fuckers).

If you're talking about the 1lb propane bottles, the fittings are different.

If you want a cheaper to operate stove, get an alcohol or white gas stove.

>I have a camp stove that uses those expensive isobutane tanks

What? I can buy them for $8 and they last an entire 3 day trip. People spend just as much on those shitty Mountain House meals.

Yes, you can buy an adapter to use a stove designed for butane canisters with propane cylinders. They screw onto the cylinder then the stove screws onto the adapter. Potato quality pic related

Don't know those specific places but you'll have no problems picking up a knife. Loads of shops, inc tabacs and tourist shops have at the bare minimum opinels and Saks. You will, however, pay a premium for them.

>opinels and Saks
Thanks, I'm not a fan of Opinels because of the wood handles but if they have SAKs it will serve me fine. I guess I could always look for something in a big city like Bordeaux but I don't want to have problems with police before I start the hike, and with all the problems that France had in the last year it's not a wise thing to do.

You'll have no worries, pocket knives are extremely common and available on the continent. You'll see a lot of local and different styles. Last time I was in France I was about to buy an olive wood laguiole but I talked myself out of it.

It doesn't matter.

>>708211
Does it not? I think my body has gotten used to my current diet, because when I tried to eat healthier, I was plagued by diarrhea. I feel like going hiking with granola bars and mountain house is going to do the same thing.

I just bring baby wipes. Nothing worse than an itchy asshole.

I don't know if I'm healthy or not. I bring a bunch of smoked meat, carrots, apples, and oranges. But I snack on a ton of peanut M&Ms. I'm lactose intolerant but the quantity of chocolate doesn't really bother me. If I brought normal M&Ms though, I would be puking out my ass all over the trail. A bowl of cereal can get me shitting in less than 15 minutes.

the SW75 cos i need a new folding saw

>>708207
Op here.
I own SW73... Great tool - better than the laplander for sure

There an actual need to carry both an axe and folding saw? I was thinking of getting a folding saw for Winter hunting trips because I could also open it up an use it like a squeegee to move snow away for a camp.

Chlorine Tablets, boiling, sawyer

>>708110
Sawyer. Cheap and easy. Get 2 pouches and make a gravity filter

>>708114
>>708115
so why the big fans of the sawyer?
