Reddit mentions of Fjallraven - Greenland Top Large, Fern

I have an Osprey Nebula. Before I go any further, the TLDR: Go right ahead and get one.

​

I use it as my (I hate this prepper term) EDC. I am a field technician and I also do a lot of outdoors activities, and the two crossover pretty neatly in what I need to carry.

​

In the front panel I always have a mosquito headnet, antibac hand gel, buff and indigestion tablets in the upper three sections. In the lower section I have a medium sized medkit with various dressings for minor things and an array of other over the counter drugs that I have collected and always come in handy when someone is unwell/uncomfortable with minor ailments.

I also usually carry a few snack bars and potato chips. All this is to share with other people as well as for myself.

​

In the back section (closest to back) I put my waterproof jacket and trousers (rains a lot in the UK) and hat. They are always with me even on boiling hot sunny days, because I don't want even a slim chance of getting wet clothes or forgetting to put my kit back in.

​

In the centre section I have a light down jacket, and whatever else I need to carry for that day, and there's plenty of room here. Sometimes I have my laptop (theres a sleeve for it in the centre section) and a pouch full of cables, sometimes portable SSDs. I'll have my lunch and coffee kit in here for day hikes too.

In the top section I have a headtorch and hat and gloves.

​

I usually carry water and fruit in the side mesh pouches.

​

Can't speak for the patagonia but it doesn't look as sexy as Osprey stuff. But I like their company aim.

To throw a spanner in the works here, have you considered Millican https://www.homeofmillican.com/collections/daypacks/products/the-mavericks-smith-the-roll-pack-25l-stone#product

Or Fjallraven

Both a bit pricey but I have fallen in love with these classic looking bags and just thought I would plant that seed ;-)
