TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I'd go WE if you are looking to carry big loads.

Having just gone through the pack purchase process, I finished up with the One Planet Strezleci to replace my old Cascade.

I was fortunate enough to find the WE & OP range in the same shop, with a tolerant sales man so I spent over an hour loading one pack, then the other and walking around.
In the finish, even though I could get the WE cheaper (about $100) I went with the OP, as even though I was swapping the same weight, the OP just felt lighter.

I guess time will tell if I made the right decision.

Hi Mark

Did much the same thing and went the same way. MD Launceston has both ranges plus a couple of more so good to compare say a MD/Mummut packs with two of the leading Aussie brands. At a 25% store wide sale a very dangerous place to be for your bankcard :D And welcome to the group.

Cheers Brett
