I Bought a CHEAP VINTAGE Backpack - And Went For a Hike

Hello RUclips!
Today I’m testing a cheap, vintage external frame hiking backpack that I bought from a boot fayre (or a yard sale, if you’re American).
This is an aluminium frame Citizen Camping backpack, I believe from the 1970s or 1980s… so considerably older than me! I decided to take it on a hike to the highest point on Dartmoor, High Willhays, to see what it was like hiking in the olden days!
This might be my new wild camping backpack, if I get on well with it, so fingers crossed that I do!
If hiking, wild camping and budget outdoor gear reviews are your thing, then consider subscribing for more content! I upload once a week.
Also, check out some of my older videos to see the beautiful sights of Dartmoor that we’ve seen already! I’m currently on a mission to visit every tor on Dartmoor, we’ve managed 36 so far… but there’s a lot more to go!
As always, I hope you enjoyed watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it!

[@ELUSIVEDARTMOOR]

what tent are you thinking of using

[@Camped_on_Dartmoor]

No waist belt? without one you are carrying the whole weight on your shoulders.

[@DaveDoesHiking]

No waist belt at all! Not sure if it originally came with one, but the real test will be when it’s a full pack!

[@Camped_on_Dartmoor]

@@DaveDoesHikingsorry I meant hip belt.
