WANTED: Old macpac canvas pack

Postby creeping_moses » Fri 28 Jun, 2013 1:44 pm

I am seeking older style Macpac canvas packs, preferable in bright colours. I'm not interested in packs from the last 10 years or so.

If you have an appropriate pack you would consider parting with, pleas contact me!

How about this one - its certainly an older style Macpac -

I think Macpac should buy it for their archives.

Curious... What's the reasoning behind the request? Just got a thing for them?

I reckon he's making a short film or doing a photo shoot, and they're all growing their facial hair while they collect their colourful packs.

If that were the case, wouldn't he be borrowing not buying?

Yeah that and also, as you know, I often go walking with friends who have minimal gear of their own so I often lend them lots of kit that I have accumulated. Packs are often a sticking point with this set up and I really like the old canvas macpacs for their sheer longevity so having one or two of these has already proven to be useful!
