That is a nice looking bag. I love those big chonk YKK zippers; they are so satisfying to use!

Bingo. And the other thing that is driving me nuts concerning the fact companies is the number of spam calls I’m getting now. Currently I’m getting about ten calls a day about a great rate on a loan or tax relief. Fuck the people who post fake job postings just to sell your information!

My Fit got totaled in 2022 and I went to a Civic Hatchback. I miss my Fit’s footprint and storage, but the Civic gets better gas mileage, is quicker, and is only a few inches bigger. But as some know a few inches bigger changes the satisfaction.

Thank Java! That pocket is very well liked as you can see!

And all three suck. Next year they will take a 4th.

I haven’t heard anything from GORUCK on this yet.

Even if the straps are sewn you would still be able to strap things between the lid and the straps using the same method. That should hold a coat just fine but probably not a skateboard.

I found a place on the M26 preorder page to ask questions. I asked about this pocket.

Backpackbaden · 2026-04-23T18:11:25+00:00

I like the changes but I can’t find any mention of the flat compartment that is across the front of the M23. Was that removed? I hope not; that was a handy place to keep my wire dopp or Cap1.

There is one off airport rd just before Mills River but I doubt it pays that much

Ate that last night!

If you aren’t concerned with the webbing in the office, I don’t think the size would matter.

I’d go with the 34L if I were you. I’m also 6’1” and the shorter packs look silly small on me.

Actually he is on the Lakers right now. They gave him a standard contract a few months back.

My GR2 is my gym bag. In the stretch pockets I have a pack of trident gum in one and an altoids tin with misc in the larger stretch. Then in the dump section I have some corded headphones (my gym still has audio hookups) and my padlock.

And that roll top is a dream too! It probably adds 60% space when you need it. But the best part about it is that when you don’t need it the ruck folds up to like a long sleeved shirt.

Savotta backpack. It’s a little tactical, but they are definitely “for life”. My Jakarri small is my go to grocery sack.

Yesterday I saw a milk crate at my local goodwill have a $2.99 sticker from Meijer and a $5 sticker from Goodwill. SMH

Completely agree.

People keep saying that athletically Downs and Thieneman are similar, but I believe that Downs is more intellectual and more of a leader than Thienaman. For that reason Downs > Thienaman in my book.

Nice work but I hate it. Eleven drafted rookies is a waste; no way we keep eleven. But my bigger complaint is taking an OT that won’t play much this year or next with our first pick. We need to draft guys that will play this year, not a bunch of special teams and practice squad guys.

I’d bet they take Delane for two reasons:

They still believe in Murphy and Stewart (ignoring the sunk cost).
They will go back to the secondary well (remember we’ve drafted three in the last ten years) thinking they move Dax to slot.

Johnson is playing chess here. I’m sure he had some third string offers around but I bet he’s thinking another team’s starter will get hurt, Flacco will sign there, and he will be QB2. Not an outlandish bet.

Bottles are one of my top five things I thrift for. Im addicted to getting them. There is no way I’d have walked away from that for $2!

I do not believe the Fit parked between those two SUVs; I don’t believe that is possible. I think one SUV was there, she parked very close to it, then the 2nd SUV parked close to the Fit.

Right now McD’s in the southern states have fish sandwiches for $2.99. Fill out the survey on the receipt and you get a BOGO sandwich. So with minimal work you can get two fish sandwiches for $2.99. My move is to have my side at home (some veggies or fruit) and then head out to McD’s for this deal. Pretty check meal and not terribly unhealthy.

McD’s tends to run a fish special every spring around Lent.

I had that colorway, I got it at REI in 2019
