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.

Hi Andrew, thanks very much for the feedback. I would be interested to see what the new buckle design looks like, or trying one, I'll email. Interesting about the reasoning behind using metal, seems fair enough in that context.

I just use my Aarn Natural Balance without the front pockets, about 60L so heaps of room. Much more comfortable than any day pack I've used.

I use a 38l One Planet vertex and some times use my Macpac Esprit 65 FL, both are very comfy packs.

I use an old ( 16 YO now ) WE "Tour-Jour" original capacity was 42 liters, somewhat reduced no due to te large number of repairs I have had to make.

Just a little on the small side for day & a half but perfect for skiing out of the village for the day, holds all the usual emergency gear plus lunch with a little room to spare for the camera and fun stuff
