Haha! I don't think the size will be an issue. You should also check out the Diablo, at $150 it seems as nice as the Hybrid, but weighs half as much, and has an awesome suspension system that takes the pack away from your back.

good lord is all that paracord?!

I'm trying to direct my dad to this pack now...



The REI Ventrui 30. Similar suspension as the Badlands Diablo...



But we'll see.

Nice pack DotD! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

hehe...if you're referring to my post, it sure is. I just put something together
for the golok last week when I had it out so that I could carry it easier.
Haven't taken it off yet. It's 100ft of milspec 550.
Didn't want to cut it just for this.

Cheers

thanks. I wanted to get something more "civilian" but now that I'm
unemployed, it's going to have to wait.

I like the looks of that Venturi!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Cheers.

I got a Eagle A-III and Maxpedition FatBoy both filled with all types of gear.

Maxpedition falcon 2 for the last year or so. Its holding up really well though I would like something bigger

I had that exact same pack, just too small.

yea if the falcon would just be a touch bigger.

hmmm. was trying to surf for some gear. i used to look at a web site all the time that had various types of gear, sold their own line of combat hoodies, all very high end stuff. lots of strider knives and survival gear.

this ring a bell to anyone?

Used to?

I have to admit, I'm liking their stuff. There's just this stigma that comes with that name. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

That and I can't justify spending $200 for a fleece hoodie, I don't care how many secret pockets there are.

Just a "tad" off topic but I thought I'd chime in on my experience with the company I think your refering to.

I have several hoodies, a hardshell, some watch caps, and some firestarters from them. They stand behind their stuff.

One of their hardshells had the "possibility" of some cosmetic issues after many washes. They contacted all who purchased the coat and offered to replace or offer a credit. Even if YOU did not have issues, they would honor their offer because there was a possibility of a manufacture defect.

I had a problem with one of their hardshells a year after I bought it. They had their team look at it to make sure that they knew exactly what was going on. Then they gave me a full credit.

I will continue to purchase their gear.

Their stuff usually goes on sale too. Just wait until a new line being introduced.
