Thanks.<br />As a youngster I was instructed by my father to carry essential gear (fire starter, compass, sierra cup, etc.) in a satchel or butt pack at all times in the great outdoors, even when bumming around camp. I still do this, as it makes for a convenient as well as comforting companion while foraging for critters, firewood, or just a side excursion.culpritishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02873121708134633914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189236237692782669.post-24517896869508734902010-02-22T23:32:27.244-05:002010-02-22T23:32:27.244-05:00Howdy,

Time flies. I want to get to the point where I am making a minimum of three posts per week. I want them to be quality posts and not just tossing everything up willy-nilly.<br /><br />Tomorrow morning we shall see about some pics of the aforementioned gear and some more info on it and ideas, etc.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />DonDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504798476827627332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189236237692782669.post-45472673178060364912010-02-22T20:35:30.240-05:002010-02-22T20:35:30.240-05:00Here is some encouragement to get those photo'...Here is some encouragement to get those photo's upcpmorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06800338922416754377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189236237692782669.post-61516509816403703172010-02-21T10:31:03.382-05:002010-02-21T10:31:03.382-05:00Anthony,

Or, it could just be you want to carry even more stuff and the pack is not large enough.<br /><br />Some packs are incredibly large. When you start getting well over 3,000 cubic inches, you are talking about a huge pack. <br /><br />The SpecOps Brand T.H.E. pack has a total capacity of 2,550 cubic inches. The Maxpedition Pygmy Falcon II comes in at 1,440. <br /><br />I've chunked around medium ALICE packs for a long time. I spent A LOT of time with one in the 1980s and into the early 90s. They are a dumpster, you can put so much into them. <br /><br />The point is, I don't want a pack that is so much over 3,000 cubic inches. I think I would rather have a decent shoulder bag on the side for various pieces of easily accessible stuff and perhaps other things.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504798476827627332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189236237692782669.post-43640317695705255392010-02-21T00:41:44.547-05:002010-02-21T00:41:44.547-05:00Good post, awaiting part II/breakdown of contents....Good post, awaiting part II/breakdown of contents. What's the reason for the seperate shoulder bag? I assume it's for quick access to things without taking the whole pack off..Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831423637233266772noreply@blogger.com
