At the age of 75, I think my BWCAW days are over. My last solo trip was a disaster, my balance is compromised and I went over twice. With that in mind, I have three Granite Gear packs I am interested in selling. They are as follows:

Granite Gear Superior One an earlier model; grey $140

Granite Gear Quetico, somewhat newer model; dark green $150

Granite Gear SOLO (yes, that one you've heard of but never seen; also dark green $170

I am open to reasonable offers for these packs, I'd rather get them into the hands of folks who will use them rather than leave them for my son to deal with after I am gone.

I would be interested to hear more about the solo, I’m not familiar and don’t see much info regarding it.

I’m sorry to hear about your tripping days coming to and end, I hope you have a lot of amazing memories of trips past!

If shoudetripper passes I would love the solo for my daughter .

Thank you, LBtross for your link. I am still pretty new to this forum but continue to be amazed at how pleasant and helpful this community is!

I found a little bit more info and while it looks like a very cool and unique pack, I don't think it's for me, so Togolance if you are interested it's all yours...or should I say your daughter's.

Sydney,

If Togolance passes on the solo, I would be interested.

If the solo is sold, I may be interested in the Quetico (if I can figure out if the used GG pack I bought is a Superior 1 or a Quetico). I'm looking for a smaller pack.

I have been waiting patiently for a response ,here or in an email. I definitely want the solo folks . Not going to pass on it if I can make contact .my daughter is looking forward to a GG pack

Has anyone heard from her? I sent an email and haven’t heard anything. I gotta buy packs soon

No, I've been waiting days. I check every few hours . If I hear anything I will pass it on .

Nor have I - I will send a followup email tonight, but haven't heard back yet.

I assume the solo is spoken for, I'm hoping for the Quetico pack.

Not inquiring about the packs; but I answered an ad about someone who was 75 and just wanted someone to help carry stuff. If your balance is all right minus pack or canoe, maybe something like that would work to keep you tripping. There's a forum for finding trip-mates. Just a thought...

Anyone hear back yet?

Nope I gave up

Togolance: "Nope I gave up "

Yeah, I would agree. Hope she's ok, but I have to move on too. I was hoping to grab the other two.

I emailed her a couple hours after she posted. I asked about the cordura weight and she replied. Then about shipping to Ontario, Canada. She replied, but was leary of shipping outside of the US. I said I was still interested but understood if she'd prefer a US buyer, but haven't heard back. Last reply was April 2. Possibly something happened to her or a family member. Hope her and her family are ok.

I haven’t heard back, but I haven’t given up yet.

Still would buy the solo or quetico pack if all turns out well and we hear back from her.

I hope she's alright and gets back to you . I bought a my daughter a Dueter fox 30 liter plus 4 . It's an amazing kids pack that's very adjustable. With a Big agnes copper spur 3 in it she carries 8 pounds.
