>RUCKSACK

Where the hell do I find a waterproof pack with good waist and shoulder straps?

I'd even go for a dry bag if it had good straps.

Looking for something 80L or larger, 100% waterproof, and preferably light weight. Must have epic straps.

What would you guys consider a viable candidate? Looking for extended backpacking in rain forest conditions.

>And tents. God dammit.

I can't seem to find a small enough tent. I need a VERY waterproof 2 person tent, that can pack down to a very small size. What do you think is the smallest option I could find?

You don't.

Dryvags for your kit not a dry rucksack, it's just not practical in actuality.

Sqr m comparison pu coated.fabrics are heavier, more vulnerable to abrasion and puncture.

Just buy dry bags for your gear and use a regular backpack.

But seriously when no one is doinh something (using 90l dry bag sacks) there's usually a good reason....

Almost nobody also traverses the world solo

I need gear that REI's dick isn't big enough for.

Considering making my own rucksack.

Doesn't solve my tent problem. I know I won't be able to use a hammock.

May be onto something here for anyone else interested

This pack, nice straps, 90L, and if I sprayed a can of clear flex seal on it the damn thing would be a raft. A can of flex seal is only like 16 oz so it wouldn't add too much weight.

I for one think using flex seal on just about anything would be fantastic.

>questions/concerns?

>the tent

For this I could also likely find the smallest possible 2 person tent, and yet again, use clear flex seal to make it 100% waterproof.

Again

Questions/concerns?

Is flex seal the ultimate way to get into extended backpacking?!
>>
Should I get some drysacks at the local sporting goods or will drysacks at aliexpress work just as good?
>>
Hyperlite Mountain Gear or Zpacks are waterproof. Hyperlite 4400 might meet your size needs. I own packs from both companies, they're great
>>
>>22105
I saw those but had two main concerns

1) durability
2) price

Price speaks for itself, for durability the material doesnt look very strong and neither do the straps.

What's your opinion? Could you use this item for 10 years? Would it still be as effective?
>>
oh and a tent, Zpacks Duplex. Waterproof, ULTRALIGHT, two person. People bitch about the price, but if you have a job it's not a problem
>>
My Hyperlite would last ten years, the black material is fucking bombproof, hence the heavier weight. Not Zpacks though
>>
You're not going to find a waterproof 90L pack. They don't exist.

Use a pack cover, and put your stuff inside of dry bags inside the pack.

There are dozens, and dozens of ultralight tents out there. You're not looking hard enough. Any good tent is waterproof. You may just need to seam seal it.

1ooL ortlieb Duffle
or equivalent sea to summit "Hydraulic Dry Pack"
on a external frame, covered in a trash bag

tent you could try tent + tarp if the terrain allows it. the trap will cover most of the rain so the tent will be able to deal with the rest.
