Title: Types of packs for NESA's 24 and 72 hour pack.
Post by: diegoochoaaa on May 06, 2017, 06:36:23 PM
I'll be attending NESA this summer and as I was looking for packs to store the 24 and 72 hour items, I have no idea what will hold everything and what can store the 24 and 72 into one pack (as the NESA basic ground team school states). 

If you've attended NESA recently, please let me know the type of bag you got and if it worked well for you.

Thanks :)

If you are going to buy something.....go with the cheapest you can find.    You can get a good used ALICE LARGE with a Frame for around $50 if you look hard enough.
That should be fine for both your 72 hour gear.  Take a small school type back pack that you can easily strap on to the back of the ALICE pack.

Have fun.

Thanks for replying! Do you happen to have a picture or link you could send of the pack?
Thanks
