[WTB][WTRent] Bearikade Blazer or Weekender

I'm planning on doing the PCT Sierra section, and looking to rent or buy a Blazer (preferred) but would also consider a Weekender. I own a BV500 so it's not super critical, but saving 8oz while also having more capacity would be nice.

I think it's too late now to order from Bearikade, and renting is $6/day which doesn't make a lot of sense over a month of use. So any rental proposition would ideally be less than that.

let's start by looking at it: https://imgur.com/a/d1AfxRm

i’ve been testing the meadowphysics grasshopper as a stripped-down overnight pack, loading it up with a sub-8 lb base kit and taking it out on a long nature walk. at ~22l, it forces intention, but it handled a full sleep system (quilt + pad), a minimal cook kit (brs stove, titanium pot/spork, small canister), water, and a few extras without feeling overstuffed. what drew me in was the lineage from the early pa’lante days, but what’s kept me interested is how normal it looks—no loud “ultralight” aesthetic, just a clean, practical daypack. the materials feel dialed, and the simple design works. i didn’t expect to like the basic foam straps as much as i do, but they’ve been comfortable even when fully loaded.

on trail, it carried well with no pressure points, assuming you pack it thoughtfully and keep anything rigid away from your back. the side pockets are genuinely usable—I could grab a 1l bottle without taking the pack off—and the add-on accessory pockets are a highlight. the bottom “trash pocket” is surprisingly useful; i’ve been picking up litter along the way and keeping it separate until i hit a bin. my only real tweak would be adding a sternum strap, since i occasionally find myself adjusting the shoulder fit on the move. overall, it feels like a highly functional, low-profile option for short overnights where simplicity and fit matter more than max capacity.
