Anyone from /out/ tell me if the Kantamus 60L is worth it? Looking for an endgame backpack that will survive the apocalypse.

I dont know about that brand. I got the tasmanian tiger tt modular trooper pack. The 55l one. At the time it seemed like a waste of money but ive had it for 5 years now and it is bullet proof. Not only is it made to far higher specs than everything else I hurt myself quite badly and I need surgery. My L5-S1 disc is bulging out 9mm I cannot move without pain. I thought that would be the end of my hiking but the huge 'battle belt' that locks to my hips keeps my disc straight and transfers the weight perfectly. Thus I cannot recommend this pack enough.

They make military shit that can withstand abuse and neglect. If you want to larp as a conscript of the Finnish Defence forces and have gear that you can give to your grandchildren, buy Savotta.
Your wallet and back will not be pleased.

Yes their gear is worth it, you also pay royally for it. It's designed for military use.

Savotta makes good gear for the price. A forum I go on loves their stuff. Anything Varusteleka sells is pretty decent. Their knives are the upgraded mora I was spending a long time looking for. And their Skrama 240 is a fantastic multipurpose knife hatchet hybrid.

/p/ fag here, I bought a Savotta Kukkaro to hold my camera as a crossbody bag.
Great quality, durable as hell, and from anecdotal evidence very water resistant.
Last week I cycled about 70km through pouring rain with the bag on my back, about three and a half hours.
I was completely soaked by the end, but the inside of the bag was still dry.

That pack weighs more than some people's kit for a 6 month hike... Fine if you're being paid to grind away your knee cartilage and develop back problems as a Finnish conscript but not for the free man who wants to walk long distances.What is it for beyond military use? Carrying an obscene amount of shit in an industrial application? It's too delicate and covered in greebles to be a mountaineering or climbing haul pack, it's too heavy covered in useless webbing to be a dedicated hiking pack, it's too big for carry on luggage, it's too military spergazoic for civilian use and will get bad attention in a lot of countries.>but I save money because it's built to be run over by a tank and thrown out of a helicopter so I'll definitely still be using it when I'm elderly
Save money by buying a simple used cordura pack from ebay, faceberg marketplace or a second hand store if that's actually your motivation, but it's usually not with you /fa/ types.

I'll never understand using 1000D cordura everywhere. Are you scraping the lid of your pack along granite as frequently as putting it down on its base? No, because I was guessing I'd say most of you are an upright biped who doesn't live in a series of narrow tunnels1000D is like fabric sandpaper, it chews up anything it grinds against, for instance the nice outdoors clothing on your back.

Looks like a good pack, tho Im not sure if its that different in purpose and function from the jääkäri L. Like others have mentioned 1000D nylon means itll last a lifetime, but it also means you're dealing with a pack thats at least twice as heavy as it needs to be.
