Backpack Recommendation pls

[LuckyPhil55]

I am looking for a lightweight backpack wide enough for large Minelab gold pan plus 2 classifying sieves. Most are too narrow. Any recommendations pls.

Thanks for the suggestion and especially the photos. Great job. I am hoping to get the whole pan in so I will keep looking, but keep your in mind it’s a good price. Phil

You can get a barrel hauler, a frame that you strap your own dry bag in to, so any size load... I use one to haul a 60L drum.

Good intel I can see how that helps solo trips on foot. Thanks

I use an army backpack, has heaps of room and about as comfortable as a pack can be. Cost $50 from Gumtree. Easily holds a couple of pans and a couple of classifying sieves, with external attachment points for all sorts of stuff.

60cm x 40cm. That's the size with it fairly well closed up. The bottom straps that cover the area where a sleeping bag traditionally went, has straps that extend enough to hold a 20 litre bucket on the outside. Any decent Army surplus shop will have a selection of clips to use for attachment points for all sorts of stuff. Couple more photos (Still only got the 2 x pans and 2 x sieves in it atm)
