Off Topic - 40ish litre Rucsac Wanted - Sorted.

[The Cumbrian]

40ish litre rucsac wanted for 6' 2" broad shouldered lad. Doesn't have to be ultralight, but certainly lightish. Preferably with accessible side pockets to hold water bottles etc, hopefully not a retina-scarring colour and as cheap as possible...

Cheers, Michael.

I've a brand new (still with labels attached) Montane Medusa 32 in a fetching grey colour. Obviously a touch smaller than the requested 40L but surprisingly roomy. £45 posted if you fancy it.

[The Cumbrian]

It's not what I'm looking for in this case Stu, but it's reminded me that I was also looking for a pack for my nephew.

Remind me of your payment details and I'll take it off your hands.

Cheers, Michael.

Thanks Shauny, but I'm hoping to not spend that much. There's a fairly good chance that he won't use it again after this trip. To my dismay he's not really into the outdoors.

Sorry to jump in, but can I get a pic or two of this? I’m on the hunt for a new Bergan myself…

[The Cumbrian]

Something like an Osprey Talon 44 would be perfect...

[Teetosugars]

I’ve a talon 33 that I’ve used twice if that’s any use??

I've got a Berghaus Arete 45, had it for 12 years and only used for a week walking Hadrian's Wall. Pretty much as new.

If that's any good it's yours for the cost of posting it.

[slackman99]

Could I be second in line for the Berghaus please Sean?

[sean_iow]

Certainly, if The Cumbrian doesn't want it you can have it. I have far to many rucksacks

[slackman99]

Fantastic, will wait and see what The Cumbrian says

Thanks for the very generous offer Sean, but I'm looking for a pack with stretch side pockets.

Cheers, Michael.

If, by any chance, that Berghaus is still available, I would be interested.
Doing a bushcraft weekend next weekend and while I have all the kit required on the list, I don't really have a backpack suitable to put it in. Could easily strap it to my bike though!

[sean_iow]

Sorry, already packaged up with slackman99's address on it ready to post later. Also, it's blue, are you allowed to take a blue rucksack on a bush-craft weekend, don't they have to be OD or MTP

[yourguitarhero]

Oh yeah, might scare the bunny rabbits away!

And as they are likely to be your dinner you don't want that
