Ultralight Bushbashing Pack?

Check out ULA or MLD packs!!! Very tough and maid custom! Go to WIKI on this website and look at companies.

You might want to email Ron Bell at MLD and ask him how much he would charge to do a custom Prophet with dyneema for the pockets instead of mesh. I think it would be exactly what you are looking for.

Golite Jam 2?

He said he didn't want mesh pockets, guys.

Ad,
What about the Gorilla Pack from Gossamer Gear. It has pockets and a reduced volume. It's made of very tough fabric and the mesh side pockets are snag resistant.

Bush bashing? You want snag proof, not snag resistant.

There aren't too many UL packs I would consider for this. Actually, a climbing pack with additional durability would be the ideal choice but you might not like the weight.

golite ion
the cloth is 2x stronger than steel for the weight and no netting to get caught on stuff.
only $50

No it's not. The dyneema threads are stronger than steel….for their weight only. They are NOT stronger than steel in absolute. Otherwise we could make car bodies out of it. The Dyneema thread in the ION is surrounded by….nylon. Nylon rips.

A full Dyneema pack of the ION size would probably cost around $500.

The Wildthings Racer pack is a full dyneema pack with a volume of around 2,000 ci. It is currently in redesign but should be available soon I've been told. The two guys that completed the recent Alaskan Race with Andy Skurka were both using models of this pack. It is a well designed and tough pack. Previous versions sold in the $350.00 range as I recall. Contact Wildthings for availability of the new redesigned version.

Thom – is it framed?

Earlier version had only a pad sleeve for support and shipped with the back pad. I have yet to see details of the revised version but would guess it to also be frameless. The earlier version is still shown on the Wildthings site showing the pack and listing features and specs.

Yup, just looked at it – $375 currently and 2000 cubes.

Thanks for the link.

Anything made out of Dyneema will work well. The GoLite Gust was one of the toughest packs I've used….

The dyneema reinforced nylon is plenty strong. A small hole caused by a blitzkrieg of acacia's wouldn't migrate outside the grid. Dan McHale could build you the best custom small roll top, 100% dyneema with integrated dyneema side pockets completely custom for around $500 I would imagine. (Something with an internal volume of 1500-2000.) If you go that route be very specific with requests, ask to leave off EVERYTHING but the essentials. Or better yet say "I only want it to have…" Full dyneema is overkill; it would hold up better over time and survive a minefield. But any situation that destroys a dyneema grid would leave you beyond recognition already. McHale also couple do a custom pack in the dyneema grid that would take a could benjamins less. Packs buy golite/mld/ula also come in a dyneema grid so you have a ton of options if you are willing to accept that.

Lynn – that was not full Dyneema.

My Conduit has a hole I had to patch due to a minor fall on granite.

Strong for the weight but not even close to 500d Cordura.

Something like McHale's Subpop in Full Dyneema instead of Dyneema Grid wouldbe pretty bomb proof, skaters and fencers use this stuff for protection. Bears cry when they see his packs.
A Kelty Cloud in Spectra or Wild Things Spectra Andinista would be trippy too, though Spectra is getting hard to come by.
CiloGear's Dyneema worksacks are super nice.
Just pick one and open yer wallet and let the dollar bills fly away.
If ya wear one out and I'm still alive send me a PM because I'll find it hard to believe otherwise.

If you just made the simple rolltop with dual Y clip, with integrated waterbottle pockets (like an envelope where the inside of the pocket is the outside of main bag) no frame, light shoulderstraps, and light/no hipbelt you could get a sub lb rolltop indestructable bag.
