Looking for a new backpack. I don’t like having 40 pockets to stash stuff in. I would prefer a frame but not having one isn’t a deal breaker. Have lower back issues so it needs to sit appropriately.

MOLLE, ALICE, ILBE, or FILBE? Something else?

    Thanks for the info! I’ll be sure to check those out. There’s no bears around here, I think the biggest predators are coyotes or humans. I like that “bag-in-lieu” idea, my first thought was “Man I bet my sleeping bag would fit there just perfect.”

    I tend to go “cheap” and replace often, but if it’s a good pack, I don’t mind buying it once.

      Sure. I’m definitely of the opposite mindset. “Buy once , cry once,” is my philosophy. I wasted too much time and money in my youth, so always try to save up for quality items.

      Which isn’t to say that one can’t find inexpensive things that are of good quality, of course.

      Cheers.
