I have had this pack for over a year now. It has been with me to several states, had many adventures in the hill, and has been used to haul my teaching aids. I have kept it in my truck loaded for bear while driving through a blizzard and carried it deer hunting on cross country skis. I LOVE IT!!
One of my favorite thing about it is the ability to add or take off pouches and pockets. If I need my FR-1 on a overnighter, just take off the tac ties and your good to go. Another thing I an fond of is the construction of it. it is rock solid. The zippers are bomb-proof, it is well padded, and the cordura that it is made with is heavy duty.
I have added 4 different pouches and a simple axe hanger. If I had to I could do several night out of this set up.
