    Default Big packs/bergens

    I'm an idle sod, and rarely do much hard walking/outdoor crafts.

    I do, however, like my nights out in my hammock.

    I've noticed with my Tatonka flysheet, group buy hammock(and sometimes midge net), underquilt, Nanok bag, water, scran... my Sabre 45 is getting quite... full.

    Not heavy, mind. Just... full.

    So, I wanted a bigger pack. Kevin at Endicotts has said he'll let me (and doubtless hundreds of others) know if he gets any more Size 4 Vulcan IIs in - being a cheap get, I wanted a Grade 1.

    Any other suggestions for robust cheap packs that will fit 6'3" EFBs?

    Now if you have not said cheap I would have pointed you at the Duluth Packs. Big does not even start to cover the size they go up to. You can virtually set your hammock up inside a number 4 duluth pack

    Very interested; how big's the bergen? Subject to piccy and size, I'm happy with that.

    I like it here!

    That's a big bag for not much money. Everybody's happy!

    Cheers,

    And it's arrived today; I'm delighted with it, and will be playing pack up in it tonight. I will be adding on the odd spare pouch
