Does anyone know if a pack with the following dimensions: 13" wide by 8" deep by 21" tall plus roll top would fit a Bearikade Weekender horizontally at the bottom of the pack? I know the Weekender has a 9" diameter and is 10.5" long, but I thought with the 13" width of the pack, maybe the 8" depth could expand a bit to accommodate the canister??? Thanks.

Apr 17, 2014 at 11:54 am #2094047Oddly enough, just after posting this thread I looked up and sitting on top of my bar was a glass beverage "keg" that measures 9" in diameter and 13" high. I removed the spout, shove the container in the pack and, BAM! It fits!!! And all of my stuff still fits on top of it. This being said, it's not overly comfortable. I might try moving the "container" more mid-way up in my pack.

I put my sleeping kit and camp clothes in the bottom of my pack, then the canister, and "options for the day" on top, with odds and ends stuffed along the sides.
It moves the weight of the canister and food up which will help with the way it feels, and will allow the bottom of your pack wrap better around your hips.
If you can, pad the top rim of the canister with a fleece, or similar, so that when you lean the pack against a rock, the aluminum rim of the canister isn't hammering the pack fabric.

Placed right on top of my sleeping bag, with some small stuff stuffed along side it, I can get the pack to have some lumbar curve. The canister actually adds some support to the vertical length of the pack.

Apr 18, 2014 at 1:58 pm #2094393I'm firmly in the Berikade vertical at the bottom of my pack camp. It fits perfectly this way in my Kalais, and have learned all the right tricks so I don't feel anything off at my lower back. As cool side effect, my pack sit on any moderately flat ground upright by itself.
