Total opposites for me, I have Lanshan 1 that I'm going to get rid of, I absolutely hated it, used it once and will never again use it ever again. Lanshan 2, perfect, used it on the Cumbria Way (none pro version) for the first time and it was absolutely perfect. It does take a few goes to master it but I think for it's price it's brilliant. I thru-hike with a dog mind which is one of the reasons I hated the Lanshan 1 :D Edit: Tho, I would absolutely love a Durston but man-o-man, they dear!

Hey Kev, as you I am looking to carry my photography-equipment with this backpack. You told us where you store your tripod - but where do you put your camera? Do you attach it to the shoulder strap of the backpack with one of these quick release plates? Cheers Matt
@TheWalkingKev 8 күн бұрын
@@MH-mf9ei that would be an option, but I never did. I either had it in the pack in a padding bag, or left it attached to the tripod whilst in the side pocket. The top clip held it all tight. Or I use a shoulder bag with the camera in.
@MH-mf9ei 8 күн бұрын
@@TheWalkingKev Thanks for your quick response, that's fabulous :) I am yet to find the perfect solution for me... Leaving it attached to the tripod seems a bit risky :D Having it in the backpack does not allow for a quick snapshot on the go. Having it in a shoulder bag hanging from one shoulder (aditionally to the backpack) causes an imbalance in weight. Have you ever tried a chest pack that is attached to the shoulder straps of the backpack? That seems quite smart to me :)
@TheWalkingKev 8 күн бұрын
@MH-mf9ei no. I've looked at them and also the clip for shoulder straps. I've just been lazy and kept the shoulder bag out of convenience! My other solution has been to use a Sony RXO II as I can just chuck that in my pocket!

@@TheWalkingKev I see! I picked up my Stratos 26 today btw :) Do you have any advise on how to adjust the back length properly? I am 176 cm tall and my back is 48 cm long. I am having difficulties to find the right spot within in the "ladder-system" Osprey provides. In the shop (it was not a shop specialised on backpacks or outdoor-stuff) they told me to leave the back length alone and to instead only adjust the length of the shoulder straps. I am not sure about that...

@MH-mf9ei I've sold this bag this year so I wouldn't be able to check I'm afraid. I adjusted the back length I believe and then riddled with straps until the hip belt felt right and never had any issues.

Very likely you pitched it fine - those old nylons sagged very badly in the cold and rain. The latest nylon 6.6 and silpoly lightweight tent fabrics perform MUCH better. The Spacepacker was a cool and revolutionary design, as you say, and is more liveable for sure. But only for sheltered camping. In any kind of a serious wind the Fellpine would be a much better option.

Hi Kev, we've had a couple of short breaks in the Forest of Dean this year and really enjoyed the walks from Coalway and Hillersland with some splendid views. Also saw deer quite close but gone quickly when they saw you. Got close to a wild boar sniffling in the undergrowth but didn't actually see it. The views from Symonds Yat Rock are worth a visit but the path up from the river is good to test the lungs. Look out for the peregrine falcons. Lots of mining in the Forest in years gone by so could add this to The Miners list 😋. Regards Keith
