Think its worth around that price if everything looks okay? Obviously it's ok af prob needs a carb clean and some other small stuff but what could be catastrophicly wrong? That's $2950 CAD = $2110 USD
Hello, I've now done two 8 day hikes, with my durston kakwa. I had no problem with it last year in June in the mountains when it was about 15-20°C out. I just finished camping tour du Mont Blanc and it was amazing but super hot. I hated the feeling of the pack trapping all the heat in there with no way for sweat to evaporate.
​
I'm realistically looking for 2 packs. A larger one 55+ litres and a smaller(~35-40L) one that will fit as airplane carry on
​
I know of the zpacks arc haul.. it's a lot of money so I need options. Being more weight is fine as long as the features are right
​
Pack features I'm looking for are:
​
Vented raised back panel
Framed
40-60L
Integrated shoulder strap stretch mesh pockets
Hip belt pockets, similar size to kakwa(they are big)
Modular loops for adding shock cord to sides back and bottom of the pack
Bottom pack pocket
Standard side bottle pockets for 2 ThruBottles
Large front mesh pocket
​
​
Is there anything else I should be looking at?
​

I'm selling my house and moving from BC to Manitoba. Ill have enough for $125k down payment and around $25k left over I want to invest. Is it better to put this lump sum in tsfa or rrsp? I'd be able to put $15k into rrsp to hit the max 18% then the rest in tsfa or all in tsfa. Neither are close to being maxed out.
I currently make $110k and when I move the new job will start around $80-90k if that matters.
No debt(other than mortgage)
What do y'all think?
