Nice stuff mate its nice to see ya doing well.. Happy Easter stay safe. Catch you in the great outdoors soon.

Hey Scotty - what dry bag do you use? I have the same pack & quite fancy a canoeing trip down in kangaroo valley. after the madness obvs. also I'd like to bend your ear a bit about nice secluded sites south of Sydney, if you might feel inclined to pm me... loving your vids 👌

Great stuff Scotty love the videos when you do your gear video any chance you can write a list of everything you take just so I can screenshot a wishlist and give it to wifey and I'm sure the other viewers might find that interesting aswell

Banned... lol.... right...

When are you putting out a video

IMHO Rush series especially the 48, are the most overrated backpacks, on the market. On the other hand, Tasmanian Tiger Mission Pack MKII, Trooper or this Raid pack, are the most underrated backpacks.The difference is huge, both in terms of quality, on every single detail and on how they carry heavy loads. Also, my Rush 48 stitching on the shoulder straps, didn't last more than 2 years of normal use. At some point, that backpack looked like I was using it for more than a decade. However, the Tasmanian Tiger, is good as new. If you don't use a backpack much, and don't carry more than 10 Kg, it can be a servicable backpack, but for real use, 5.11 is a joke. I'm sorry I sound like a hater, but that is my personal experience with both brands. I also own Maxpedition, but I like Tasmanian Tiger quality more.They simply are the best IMO.

I’m not a big fan of the day ruck, it’s kind of small for what it costs

I agree with you!

I added Potassium Iodine tablets also for new situation here in Europe 😅

Where from?

I was looking to order one from Wild earth, but I’ve found reviews stating they have received dodgy TT products.

Hey mate I am tossing up between the TT mk3 and savotta jagera large. Any pros cons ? Not sure which way to go. Want something decent sized but heavy duty and modular.

If its military sirplus fine. But if its new and doesnt include a raincover ( realistically whats production cost of $5 max ) that company dont deserve my coin. If they are that tight, chances are they shaved or skimped on some other part of the pack to make another dollar.

which one version do you own ? Sf Sabre ? or Predator maybe ?

This comment will make me return it in 2 days when it arrives from Amazon. As all the time I am breaking my head about side pouches. Would rather not have them so I can store bow limbs and fishing rod at least on one side and on the other adding my own pouch. Stupid to have molle on pouches. And yeah, I need something slightly bigger for a winter. Luckily they have options for that also

@@BushcraftEuropeI have the same pack bud and can have stuff in the side pockets and rod,axe on the side also

I know what you mean, not sure whatbitnis about bladders, but having the bottle for water is 100% better.

Looks a lot like an akubra...

Hey, yes the places I go allow self sufficient off track bush camping. Though not every national park allows it, so you have to read up on a particular park you're interested in. Also, each state in Australia has different laws. For example, I don't think QLD allows it but NSW does. If you do get into it, just make sure you leave the place better than you found it, so that we can all continue to do it into the future. Hope that helps.

Scotty's Gone Walkabouts I live on the far south coast so that’s great to hear. Whenever I do go camping I always make sure to revert the place to how it was before I got there, thanks for the reply I’ll be keen to start looking once this quarantine’s over :)

I prefer non designated camp grounds. Or at the very list, minimal camp grounds. Sadly they aren’t very common...to me hanging out at a place that is packed with camper vans and tents and toilets and showers, and play grounds etc isn’t camping...happy for those who enjoy it but it’s just not getting back to nature enough for me. I’m in NSW so it’s time to start looking for some close to me.

hi man. Looks like you have a serious history about backpacks. i live 3 different places, so i want to sell all my sportbags, all these normal schoolboy bags, old infantry bergens (120 liters) and use 1 ultimate backpack for dayhiking, for everydayuse (laptop, clothes, 2 pair of shoes, couple of clean clothes. etc ) plus, i will start bushcraft, and maybe 2 nights in the nature. what do you think ? For now, i search infos for karrimor sf sabre 45 ( probably it will be enough space with side pockets (70ltr) but simple back system not adjustable) and the sabre 60-100 ( maybe a bit overkill for me, but adjustable and more comfortable back system. ) And now i saw this Tasmanian Tiger pack.... Help me with some advice pls :)

@@adamhideghety5612 Goodmorning! The size you search for, is more for camping, trekking etc, rather than everyday use, where a 12-25 ltr bag, would be the choice. 1st criteria for your choice, would be the kind of use and also the amount of gear you are going to put inside.That means you have to collect all of that gear, on a bed or on a big table and start puting it, to an older bacpack or bag you already own and know how many litters or cubic space is it's size. That's the only way, to find out what size (litters) backpack you need. Do not copy, what other UKpostsrs do and show in their videos, where their backpacks are smaller than the gear they want to carry and put so many gear in the outer parts of the bag. Never put so many gear outside the bag, all your gear has to be inside the backpack. Tasmanian Tiger (German brand) is one of my favorite brands, their bags are the perfect balance of comfort and strength. I like them way more than Karrimor. Karrimor Sabre is thin and tall, which is a design more for climbing mountains! For better weight destribution and balance, I would suggest a bit shorter and wider backpack.Tasmanian Tiger Raid Pack MK III . Will put a big smile in your face because it's the perfect bagpack at that size, but will also put a big hole in your wallet. Tell me how much money you can spend, to show you the best ones, at that price!

@@greekveteran2715 many thank for the advice :). So the hole in my wallet, the sabre 45 with pouches 170 euro, TT (im near to Germany) is 200-220 euro, and the sabre 60-100 is cirka 280 euro. So the money is not motter in this time. I want a bag, with around 70 litre (must be enough). The sabre 60-100 is to big, i know, but the adjustable system is really confortable, say the most comments. But if i go on a 15 km hiking, with 6 kg of weight. Can i undersize the bag with the straps, or would i look like an idiot ? I like the option, that i can pack more, if i want to. Do you try the karrimor and the tasmanian Tiger to ? what was the comfort ? And the difference between 700 D cordura, and 1000 D ?

@@adamhideghety5612 You get what you pay for. A 170 euro bag, will make a 10kgr load, feel like 10kgr. A 250 euro bag, will make a 10kgr load, feel like 6 kgr . It's the overall design and quality that matters and not how beatiful or not it looks. 700 D is the thickness of the material and Cordura, is the type of material. Cordura is strong, don't choose a bag with more than 700 D, even 500 D will be enough. 1000 D will make a 70 ltr bag super heavy (3.5 kgr - 4 kgr empty). Karrimor is English brand, Tasmanian T. is German brand... Forget Karrimor if you want quality and can afford it. Osprey is another brand I would look at, They make the best hiking backpacks. They are not as durable, as Tasmanian Tiger, but they are lighter in weight Tasmanian Tiger Pathfinder MK II is an 75 ltr bag, check it out ( They get heavy and expensive at that size (70 ltr) I personally, carry a 40 ltr backpack for hiking) Whatever you get, try to learn how to adjust the straps, otherwise, no matter what backpack you get, it won't be comfortable or in some cases, not even able ,to carry a load. There are UKposts videos, where people show how to properly adjust and use such a backpack. As for brands: Osprey is the best for hiking. Aether plus or Archeon (only comfortable) Tasmanian Tiger is the best civilian military style bag, Pathfinder MK II (both comfortable and robust!) Savvota is some of the best military style backpakcs ( Mostly robust, super robust, however, not as comfortable as the others) Those 3 brands, are the BEST at each of the 3 main categories. WISPORT RACCOON 65L is another option, if for some reason, you don't like the other ones, which are the Best.

@@greekveteran2715 Thanks mate. i will consider what you said.
