hi, one my kit lists it requests i bring a 'small' rucksack, what would you lot say is the best size (in litres) and i mean best by way of fitting stuff in but also being able to cart it around when needed. do they issue a larger rucksack?
Cheers ppl

You take the piss and insult some of the most valued people on this forum and then expect someone to help you? You're kidding, right?

I know exactly the size, in fact the model that you are after. Having it would prove to be invaluable. Getting the correct size is difficult as there really is only 1 that fits the bill. The rest are either just too small or way to big.

What ever size you can fit you ego and BS into would be about right, then again it does say "small"

Just been browsing the other threads to see where the hostility comes from, and it has to be said fella, you do have a neck longer than a giraffe!
Have you actually been into the Cotswold shop or Blacks etc and had a look? You might see the difference between a small rucksack & a big rucksack! If they haven't given you a size, it means you're to use your judgement, which at the moment seems to way off! Let's hope your aim on the ranges is a little better!

Sorry Biggles m8, if you had been shopping carefully you would have bypassed all the 'sensible' daysacks for women and seen this little bute
BERGHAUS BLADDERED
A small compact sac with expanding main compartment [for ever inflating ego] and other storage options designed to accommodate a hydration pack [full of pi$$ and wind] to keep the user refreshed while on the move. Ideal for fast moving activities.[Like staying two feet in front of a pi$$ed off DS]
FEATURES:
Chest harness [assuming there is one]
Expandable main compartment [see above]
Extendable mesh pocket [for any mesh you need to carry around]
Front mesh pocket
Front pocket with water repellant zip [repellant being the key word]
Internal insulated pocket and outlet designed for a 2L
hydration bladder [see above]
Internal security pockets and key clip [to hide in at night from your new found friends]

RRP £32.95
Or you could always wait to be issued with the quality RAF issue rucksac, the envy of the mountaineering world.

If you cant spot the pi$$ take at that range you will be quality at RTS. Must give your details to an RTS instructor I know. Paws incoming!

Hi I'm on weekend leave from RT at the moment. You dont really need to take a small rucksack as you will be issued with a blue one with the RAF emblem on. Just a suitcase for the main kit you are taking and maybe a record bag or something should do, is of course up to you though.
