I have this campers backpack that is pretty awesome, was bought many years ago (from my childhood, Im 33 yrs old now). But its just too big. I need something I can wear while I ride a horse or motorcycle. This one the frame goes down near or past the buttocks :xeye: and I cant sit comfortably with it on my back.

Do they make a nice one of similar size at least, and can strap a sleeping bag on the top, and other things on outside of backpack easily?

Im not really a prepper kind of person,but I am considering doing some preping, especially since aliens are coming back Dec 2012 and no one knows their intentions. :

Cant find the pic of my backpack, but will look more

Everyone knows it's not aliens we have to worry about but the zombies. Ok, fraid going to need more information about what kind of bike do you ride. Is it street rocket or a combinatiion road / trail. First thing that struck me is a large fanny pack or even a sling style pack. Check out Maxpedition's site for examples of both.

A sling style pack in link below. The down side the messenger style pack is the danger of it gets caught on something. If it does then more than likely it strip you off the bike or break the strap.

Personally I'd strap it down to the bike rather than attach it to my person.

I recommend a Kelty internal frame, especially the Red Cloud 90 or the Klamath 75 by Jansport. Both are internal framed and can hide a small car in them.

I dont have a bike now.. but giving examples of what u cant do w this backpack. I basically want something easier to carry around and sit in. This backpack is awesome for hikers/backpackers/ campers/ caving, it doesnt seem very good for a BOB where u would throw it in the car, ride a bus with it on ur back etc...

I want to be able to sit down with it on my back.

Thnx for the links Ill check em out!

Im also thinking , after seeing some of the military packs on this site, that a military pack may work good.. I want something I can strap a sleeping bag to.. along w other things straped on the outside of the pack.

The packs I told you about , at the bottom of them is a sleeping bag compartment so its inside its own compartment and reachable at any time, away from whats sitting on top of it inside the main compartment. They run from 150-200 dollars and both the packs I discussed come from companies that their only business is packs and or tent systems.

Camelbak Cloud Walker. An excellent daypack. You can get it for $50 or so. It comes in black too.

The Klamast 75 looks nice! Am I thinking too large for a BOB? I see lots of people are using smaller bags.

here is the backpack I have

I prefer a modular approach. A small backpack on my back, a messenger bag across my chest and a waistpack.

 

[Domindart]

Im thinking big cause I can fit everything in / on it togther. (my sleeping bag, stuff inside, and even tent if Im needing it)

What about a tactical 3-day pack?

Urban - I'd go with the 5.11 "COVRT 18"

Tactical - I'd go with the 5.11 "RUSH 72"

both solid build, well thought out design, have water bladder compartment and comfortable to wear.
