Hi all, great forum.

I have a question which I sure has been asked a million times but I am struggling at the moment making a decision. I live in Australia and am preparing for a camping trip that could be for 3 months or more of survival camping. I know people will be critical of this but just imagine a fantasy scenario where you had to survive in the bush in Australia for an extended period of time. Anyway I am looking at backpacks that can carry big loads with the most ease. I am also interested in a versatile backpack with lots of easy access pockets though this isn't essential just a nice bonus.

The plan would be to get to different base camps and stay for several weeks at each or even months. So day packs can be used once you set up camp. This pack is intended mainly to carry heavy loads to the camp. Something along the lines of military use packs etc..

It does not have to be External or internal frame. I am still undecided on what the best would be and I know that trying them on the the best way but a lot of the best packs can't be purchased here in Australia so shipping is the only option (these can be returned if not satisfactory).

So far I have looked at: Cirrus access 7000 f2, Kelty tioga 5500, ARUC systems backpack, Kelty red cloud, Denali pro (gregory), and the norrona reconpack (not sure if they ship here yet).

Any advice at all would be very much appreciated!

Kind regards,
Terry.
