That is a good deal. I use a GG pack for 2 person trips and they’re hard to beat, especially since you can find them on sale a lot of the time.

I was really tempted by the GG Kumo for a long time but ended up going so far down the rabbit hole I sewed my own pack 😋 i like GG, when are they on sale? around the holidays?

Oops, I meant Granite Gear in this context, although I have referred to Gossamer Gear as GG previously when talking about my solo pack. Granite Gear packs are easy to find cheap.

It’s way cooler that you sewed your own pack. That’s a skill I’ve been meaning to pick up forever.

Give it a shot! Packs are intimidating but the material is easier to sew and more forgiving of mistakes than super light stuff like tarps, quilts, etc.
