Wilderness Equipment Outbreak Bushwalking Pack Hire

The Wilderness Equipment Outbreak is a rugged, reliable bushwalking pack designed for hikers who need a durable pack capable of handling multi-day adventures. Available for hire from Wild Island Adventures, it is a practical choice for the Overland Track, Tasmania hiking, camping and extended bushwalking trips.

Built with durability and long-term use in mind, the Outbreak uses hard-wearing synthetic materials and a strong internal frame system. Its straightforward design makes it particularly well suited to hikers who value reliability, comfort and practical storage over unnecessary features. Wilderness Equipment describes the Outbreak as a rugged pack designed for outdoor education and continuous use.

Comfortable and Adjustable Fit

One of the biggest advantages of the Outbreak is its adjustable harness system. The pack is available in different size combinations, with two back-length settings built into each pack size. This provides greater flexibility when fitting the pack to different body shapes and heights.

The Perfect-FIT harness system is designed to provide a secure and comfortable connection between the pack and your body, helping transfer the weight of your equipment through the hip belt rather than relying entirely on your shoulders.

A correctly fitted backpack can make a significant difference during long days on the trail, particularly when carrying camping equipment, food, clothing and water.

Rugged Construction

The Outbreak is built for hard use. Its pack body and harness use hard-wearing synthetic fabric, with the current Wilderness Equipment specification listing 1000-denier nylon with a multi-layer PU coating. This provides a tough outer material suited to the demands of bushwalking and outdoor education use.

The pack is designed with durability and easy maintenance in mind, making it particularly appropriate for a hire environment where equipment needs to withstand repeated use.

Practical Pack Design

The Outbreak keeps things simple with a single large main compartment featuring a wide, high-cut opening. This makes it easier to load and access your hiking equipment without having to fight with a narrow opening.

The pack also features:

• Large main compartment

• Wide, easy-access top opening

• Drawcord closure

• Top external pocket

• Rear external pocket

• Adjustable back length

• Adjustable shoulder harness

• Comfortable hip harness

• Strong internal aluminium frame

• Durable synthetic construction

• Attachment points for additional external storage

The simple layout is particularly useful when packing for a multi-day walk, allowing you to organise your tent, sleeping bag, clothing, food and other hiking equipment efficiently.

Excellent for Tasmania Hiking

The Outbreak is a great option for hikers heading into Tasmania's wilderness. Its rugged construction and comfortable adjustable harness make it suitable for carrying the larger loads required for multi-day bushwalking and camping.

It's particularly suitable for:

• Overland Track

• Walls of Jerusalem

• Frenchmans Cap

• Multi-day Tasmania hiking

• Wilderness camping

• Bushwalking

• Backpacking

• Outdoor adventures

For the Overland Track, a larger backpack is useful because you'll generally need to carry several days of food, camping equipment, clothing and other essentials.

Why Hire a Wilderness Equipment Outbreak?

If you're visiting Tasmania for a hiking trip, purchasing a large expedition-style backpack may not make sense if you don't regularly undertake multi-day walks.

Hiring the Outbreak from Wild Island Adventures gives you access to a purpose-built bushwalking pack without the expense of purchasing and transporting your own large pack.

We can also help you put together a complete hiking setup, with sleeping bags, tents, sleeping mats, rain jackets, waterproof overpants, gaiters, cooking equipment and other hiking essentials available for hire.

Whether you're preparing for the Overland Track or planning another multi-day Tasmanian adventure, the Wilderness Equipment Outbreak is a dependable, comfortable and hard-wearing backpack designed to carry the gear you need for the trail.
