How much will I regret forcing an Osprey Transporter 65 into being a ruck bag?
Howdy all,
Been popping into REI over the past couple months whenever I get the chance to haunt the REsupply and try to throw together a cheap starter camping kit out of used gear, so far Ive snagged:
\* Nemo tensor ultralight sleeping pad (35$, 190$ retail)
\* Klymit 20F Sleeping Bag (65$, 150$ retail)
\* REI Half Dome 2 (85$, 329$ retail)
Pretty happy with it all so far but needed something to actually carry it all in, ended up snagging an Osprey 65 Transporter Duffel for 60$ today (200$ retail). Know its more of a travel bag but Im gonna try to square peg/round hole it and make it work since it's the best I can probably get on a budget.
For what its worth, 6'1", 185lbs of muscle and not really worried about sweating the additional weight given the cash I saved. Not too interested in 50 mile treks yet, but 20 mile out and backs with a stayover is on the table. Think this things passable given the zero support, almost no compartments and super thick material or should I keep looking?
