    Checking your backpack on flights

    I purchased the Osprey Airporter medium for my Exos at a decent sale price. I pack a fresh set of clothes and lightweight shoes together with a tough plastic bag and a printed label addressed to Casa Ivar all inside together with gaffa tape rolled around one walking pole. Once out of the airport...

    Rucksac cover with hard of hearing sign.

    Thank you everyone for your contributions and ideas, I was going with the sewing or glue on a sign on my sac but wondered if anyone had come across such an item. Think I will add SORDO as well underneath, especially after today as I was reading Thomas the Tank Engine books to one of my...

    Rucksac cover with hard of hearing sign.

    Has anyone come across a cover for ruck sacs with a hard of hearing sign? On my two Caminos I have had a few very close calls with cyclists riding up behind very fast and nearly hitting me. On every occasion I not heard them approaching. The worst was on a slight downhill section of a smooth...

    Osprey quality - fabric fraying

    If you are able to return to the store you purchased it from I am sure they will be very helpful. Osprey have a very good guarantee. A friend had a similar problem and was given a replacement.

    Is Dousing My Silk Bag with Pemetherin (for bed bugs) a Bad Idea?

    I have used a silk liner that i spray and dry outside on a line two days before I depart. I also spray my rucksack and use a plastic tie to ensure it is off the ground. the only thing I would point out is you may start the night all cuddled up in your liner but I am sure it wont be long before...

    Exos 46 Pack and water access...

    I like the Source as you just slide the clip off the top and fill easily also I can just get my hand in to clean it and I have big hands! Other makes with side opening are difficult to fill and clean.

    Exos 46 Pack and water access...

    I used the exos 48 and Source bladder on the Portuguese last May. I found the combination perfect. I would fill with 1.5 lts the evening before and also carry an empty half litre . If I needed to top up on route I would use the spare bottle to fill up. Only needed to do this on a couple of...
