    Anybody want to fess up to being an absolute gear dawgie hiding packs inside packs from the family or being a single pack owner and proud of it?
    I've known cyclists who claim you can't own too many bikes up to the point of it being a relationship deal breaker.
    I'll count up mine when I get home and post.

    Do only (ultra)light hiking/backpacking packs count or any packs?

    Just two. Osprey Stratos 24 and a 1st generation Golite Jam2. I'd love an MLD Burn though!

    9 packs
    but 3 of them are small ultra running packs, do they count?
    also, 3 of the other 6 are home made.
    all the commercial packs are modified to some extent.

    Ten (10) from a tiny ULA Amp to a 66L Osprey expedition pack, and everything in between.

    But, I could quit – if I wanted to!

    2. ULA Circuit and a TNF Terra 40 which was my first pack. Keeping the Terra 40 as a spare to lend out. Considering a cuben fiber pack in the near future.

    Gossamer Gear Gorilla – This is my primary 3-season pack

    SMD Starlite – my winter pack/extended trips when I have to carry lots of water.

    MLD Revelation Hybrid – My 9.88oz SUL aspirational pack, that I'm about to sell, as I can't justify keeping it around for aspirational purposes.

    The North Face Skareb 55 (kept around as a loaner)

    10 year old EMS 4500 7 pounder – my first real pack, been around a bit with me and purely sentimental value.

    REI Jet UL- Makes a nice winter dayhiking pack.

    Oware daypack stuff sack – self-explanatory.

    REI Flash 18 – nice durable daypack for hiking and travelling.

    1. Gossamer Gear Gorilla. Probably gonna change to having 2 packs like a zpacks blast/mld burn and a larger pack for the long excursions. If only money grew on trees

    Irrelevant.

    We all have lot of gear that hasn't seen the light of day for many years.

    How many packs do you own THAT YOU STILL USE? Now THAT's a good question.

    My answer: 2. One is a simple day pack, the second is my long haul pack.

    Two of us share 5 packs:

    Osprey Hornet 42
    Osprey Kestrel 48
    Ula Amp
    Ula Ohm
    Deuter Act Lite 35

    We mostly use the Hornet and the Ohm.

    @hknewman

    Locale: The West is (still) the Best

    Backpacking:

    Retired – Mountainsmith Auspex 75L and a torn Granite Gear Vapor Trail 60L, probably sell the former, do not know what to do with the latter

    Current – Osprey Exos 34L, Granite Gear Virga, stripped REI Flash 50 (may do some more trimming), and for winter, Granite Gear Vapor Flash 60L.

    Would like the Osprey Hornet 46 but their largest size (M/L) fits me like a Hello Kitty bookbag strap-wise.

    Dayhiking:

    REI Flash 18

    Mountainbiking:

    Osprey Talon 5 for snacks, water, and tools

    I love stuff you put stuff in. It's a wonder I have only five, and of those only one I got specifically for backpacking. Two lumbar (one small, one large), a small Camelbak, a medium Jansport, and a large GoLite.

    Now if we start counting the messenger bags, duffel bags, gym bags…I start to look a bit obsessed. We won't go there.

    Just me, or the whole family?

    Me:

    Gregory Shasta, ~1995, retired
    SMD Starlite, 2004, retired
    ULA Circuit, current
    ULA Ohm, current
    Golite 24 Pack, current
    Osprey Kestrel 32, current

    If I had to list all the packs I've ever owned, that might be a problem. Not even sure I can remember. Yikes.

    And here I only thought I was a tentaholic…darn this thread for making me take notice!

    Dana Designs Terraplane (still keep it for training dayhikes, lending)
    Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone
    MYOG silnylon daypack
    Luxurylite external frame
    Golite Peak
    MLD Exodus in VX21 (PIF from Thom Darrah)

    I've used all but the Exodus, which I got after being sidelined with plantar fasciitis earlier this year…still looking forward to taking that one out.
