    Here's the link to last year's 30L hiking backpack from Lidl. I much prefer the new 2024 version. ruclips.net/video/Znk11yabsJI/видео.html

      As a comparison, I could get 28 of these at this price, for the amount I paid for my Fjallraven rucksack. LOL

    You can use a flat insulation mat and put it in place of the bladder to stabilize and pad the bag ;-)
    That is the way we carried the military backpack ;-)

      @TheWalkingKev  Месяц назад +3

      I don't think it needs it as it's well padded, but that's a good suggestion.

      @@TheWalkingKev Have a look at the "Bundeswehr Faltmatte".
      I was able to get an original one. To sit on. I am not 18 any more, and even then your back hurts using those to sleep on. See it more like an "grab and pull out of Backpack to sit somewhere dry" utility. ;-)
      You can sleep on one.
      But you will curse the decision in the mid of the night-you will curse more in the morning ;-)
      And walk funny for half an hour in the beginning of the rest of the trip every morning.
      But to sit on and lay on for a short time-excellent. And useful to protect an inflatable mat.
      And can be used to fan flames, make an improvised shelter against wind etc.
      But for gods sake-don't use it as a sleep mat alone ;-)

    Long time subscriber of your channel because of your reviews of these cheap/value for money gear!
    Would be interesting to see how this ranks against the cheap de-cathlon 30L hiking packs which cost around £15-£20.

    Now that looks like a definite bargain!
    Some may comment that 'it probably won't last'. That said, at the very least, a great 'starter bag' for newbies who wish to 'test the water' .. or as you say, a light-duty, general-use backup.
    A good share .. thanks. Take care ..

    I have bought the Crivit Ultra Light walking sticks from Lidl £16 a pair, I have had them for over 2yrs and they are still working well. They have many key features you would find if you were to buy the equivalent sticks by Leki and you would be paying in excess of £100. If this rucksack is up to the same standard as the poles it would be worth a punt.

    I got one of these this morning after seeing your review. Although the pack is quite versatile, I should warn any other large or tall backpackers that it's a little bit too small, and would likely suit more average height/build. The whistle on mine is also duff, so watch out for that too.

    • @TheWalkingKev
      @TheWalkingKev  Месяц назад +1

      Thanks for sharing. I guess at this price point they try and cater for averages. It must be frustrating being taller than that as such a lot of hiking and camping gear becomes problematic. I often think a tent isn't quite long enough and I'm only 5ft 11!
