I've been using my bro-in-law's ruck sack until I get me a backpack. But the more I look at backpacks, the more I like the ruck. I'm sure its heavy as all get out, haven't weighed it. But its huge, lots of pockets, and extremely tough.
The one thing I don't like is the way you have to cinch down on the straps to get your tent secured on top. Sqeezes things inside and makes it hard to get to the pockets. But, there are plenty of pockets which is nice. And again, the bag is huge with a nice, big opening.
Does anyone here use a ruck? Will I be marked as a complete dufus if I continue down this track?
