My Ultimate Outdoor Pack Setup for Every Adventure: Mountainsmith Day Lumbar Pack

[@freeborn288]

Nice to see someone else rocking the old school Gerber! I bought mine 30’ish years ago and still use it daily. Great video and thanks for sharing. 👍

[@RootsandRuinsOutdoors]

You can’t beat the classic Gerber tools, but thank you!

[@samrichmond2940]

Let’s go brother! Good luck on your adventure! I look forward to following you and brag to all the others to come that I was here at the beginning!

[@RootsandRuinsOutdoors]

Thanks! More to come! I appreciate your support!

I have the old Cairn and Cairn 2, as well as the day pack. All with strappettes, great EDC or weekend pack.

[@RootsandRuinsOutdoors]

I agree, mountainsmith makes great gear. The strappettes are even compatible with their duffel bags as well.

Good video. Welcome to KZbin. I hope to see more soon.

[@RootsandRuinsOutdoors]

Thanks! I have more coming down the pike!

[@DavidBarnhill-y6h]

Awesome video hope to see more soon I’m also in Indiana

[@RootsandRuinsOutdoors]

Thanks man! Indiana is definitely underrated that’s for sure!

That tan USMC sustainment pouch is designed to carry a lot of food which is heavy so don’t be afraid to put some weight in it if you have to.

[@RootsandRuinsOutdoors]

Oh yea they are tough, but I may be asking too much of the webbing at that point haha

[@mountaintownnaturalist2646]

There is a no-sew method of adding a better Kifaru hip belt to replace the Mountainsmith.

[@RootsandRuinsOutdoors]

I’ll have to look into those. My one gripe about the pack is its hip belt. I oftentimes just don’t use it.

[@mountaintownnaturalist2646]

@ The founder of Mountainsmith developed the Omni belt design used in the Lumbar Day pack. He then sold Mountainsmith and started Kifaru, where he kept doing the Omni belt. The old Lumbar Day pack accepted the 1” tensioning webbing straps for years until MS did the next to the last model. That one (and so far as I know, the current one) had 3/4” triglide hardware. The triglides in both instances were anchored to webbing loops on the pack. My solution was to get 1” triglides and anchor them to the webbing loops. Works great, and I have carried a camera/long lens, binoculars, a journal, and a 32 oz kleen kanteen throughout the States and overseas with that belt and an after market over-the-shoulder strap.
