@chrisjohnnick that’s a hell of a find!! How do you like the bag? I’ve been considering their Wilder

[chrisjohnnick]

@Mizmazzle it's definitely well built, but I'm finding it's not really my style compared to a couple other bags I've got.

[Mizmazzle]

@chrisjohnnick gotcha. Thanks man. I’ve been wondering how comfortable the wilder is for actual hiking and backcountry use. I do a lot of 6-12 miles hikes to fish high alpine lakes. Wondering if the wilder is going to be comfortable for that type of use…or is it just a cool looking we’ll build bag that isn’t necessarily comfortable for deep hikes.

[chrisjohnnick]

@Mizmazzle Yea, it looked great and fit what I needed in it. I went with something else because I didn't really like the roll top style, and the leather straps weren't comfortable on my shoulders. I decided I needed zippers and padded shoulders.

@chrisjohnnick i broke down and bought the Bradley Mountain Wilder 10th anniversary backpack. Shit is not cheap! But nothing well made is haha.

that is really a beauty, and looks as if it'll last forever

I bought this from a German company (Steinkauz) recently for bushcraft type shorter activities. It combines the functional with waxed cotton and some leather bits and is surprisingly comfortable. For anything where function and light-weight really matters (longer hikes, mountains etc) I would go for something purely functional and light.

I am after a backpack for work which will allow me to carry a fair bit (25 - 30 litres) but also will have a relatively well protected compartment for a laptop. I have scrolled through this section and got a few ideas but wonder if anyone has a particular recommendation for what I am after?

@Crispy-Heron I have one from a company called ebag, pro slim weekender. Really happy with it, using it for work/work related travel. Have it since four years and it doesn’t show any signs of wear.

@Dmart -thanks. They look promising. I will look into them.

New Bradley Mountain Wilder arrived today! Thing is damn good looking in my humble opinion!! Can’t wait to see how it does on the hikes to find trout!!

Following up to my above post of my bag being made, here's some more pictures. Nearly ready, maybe I'll pick it up when in Hamburg in a week.

Very nice selection of tweed and leather! Looking forward to the end product.

Nice one @Mizmazzle ; do you fly fish? I have numerous friends who do that out here and may try to learn myself.

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey yeah man!! It’s my favorite thing in the world!!!

Winter Luggage….
NF, Ortlieb and Vintage Patagonia

[jordanscollected]

either the car or the line of skiers look out of place, not sure which one exactly.

GRXC2 proving to be a good travel companion for just an overnight stay. The shoulder harness is crazy, though - my shoulders are already sore!

[Mizmazzle]

Finally got the new Bradley Mountain out for its inaugural hike. Love the feel of all the leather straps. She’s a beaut!!
