Unpopular opinions

[DougNg]

Agreeing with me in general automatically makes it an unpopular opinion.

If you really want to get your travel gear down, go to a camping store. They have a lot of innovative stuff to get weight down.

You're not serious about weight savings until you start drilling holes in toothbrushes

@DougNg:

The GR1 is 1000D, overkill if you're not dragging it over coarse materials. I've been using 500D for the last few years, it's adequately strong and durable but the weight savings is considerable.

Actually, I've left it on the ground at outdoor rifle ranges which are covered in brass, and I don't even have abrasion marks on it.

Wholeheartedly agree. Both my Mystery Ranch packs use 500D Cordura. They both piss all over my Goruck pack in terms of performance/strength to weight ratio (although I do love my Goruck also, great bags too)

I've always liked Mystery Ranch. They don't overuse MOLLE for regular packs like other companies.

Futura yoke is very comfortable and the 3-zip access is great. They are incredibly well thought out.

The weight distribution on the frame is easily the best I have experienced on a pack, the only downside is the frame is quite rigid which makes it difficult to fold down flat if you need to stow it on a plane.

You should check out the specials on their website. They have had some real bargains in the past year.

Probably not going to pick up a pack for awhile. Want to see how long I can use this Vertx bag before the bottom falls out. Been four years and I can't tell it's been used other than it's dirty as shit.

@Cutlasshound:

I have two totes, one by Kletterwerks and another by Acronym.  Both are solid, well-made practical bits of kit that have carried a shit load and taken a lot of abuse. They were also very useful work bags when I had a prolapsed disc and couldn't carry a backpack.

Primarily, I use a them for work as an addition to a backpack/messenger when I have to carry multiple files.  In the alternative, they are useful as a bag for the kids toys if we are going away.

I don't buy any carry items for fashionable purposes these days, only things that I can use practically.  Totes definitely have their place in a carry arsenal and can be very useful bits of kit.
