DotD, did you make sure the color matches her eyes and outfit? If not, then she'll never use it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I went for a hike today to check out my Jumbo. It carries very well. I'll need to attach some more water bottles for summer. It was 77 today, and I drank all 28 oz in my bottle.

Today was a chance for me to try out a few other items of gear, too. I went to the local park as usual and headed out with my new Maxpedition Jumbo and my new Rajah II. It was warm at 77F, but a stiff breeze was coming in from the river.

When I got to the campground, where I usually take a break, I saw a SUV parked there! I met Lynnette, the girl scout leader, and she was in the advance party for thier leadership campout. They let her drive the gear there.

So I headed on down the trail to find another place to have my late lunch and show off the gear.

Then I came upon a treasure, a fat lighter stump. And me with no fixed blade! What to do? I wanted to gather some to give to the girl scouts on my way back.

With a snick, Rajah appeared! Not as good as the SOD, but easier for concealed pocket carry.


So I split some fat lighter out and stuffed it in my new bag.


On down the trail, I found another place to have my lunch.


Wow, check out these evil ants! I won't gather from this stump!

So on the way back, I gave Lynette the fatlighter, and she was grateful for it.
She had used the last of hers to start the fire she had going by then. I walked on and checked out a little hammock island.

The Maxpedition Jumbo Versi pack rides so well, I hardly noticed it.

Awesome story and great pics. That tells me more about the bag then anything else. The fact that it rides well and is modular has sold me on it. Where should I get mine?

I got mine at amazon.com. They had the Khaki on sale.

I'll check it out, thanks!

I sat and talked with Lynnette for a few minutes on the way back. She really dug my man purse and wanted one, too.

Those girl scouts would really be prepared then!
Get them some CS for starters and watch out boy scouts!

I know I didn't do my story right. I don't have all the cool gadgets Bushman has, yet! He carries about three choppers, too. But the CS Rajah 2 and The Max Jumbo sure did the job today. Both fine pieces of gear, Taiwan made or not!

These are new to me.
Whats the difference between the Fatboy and the Jumbo?
I also see mention of left or right side carry,do they have
a different model for each side?
I gues an important question for me as well is
Is there enough room on the strap to put a sheath on?
It "looks" like you have one mounted there Bushman5?

I have a few ATS pouches that probably could work with this setup.
Might have to give this some serious thought for
short hikes and even "town trips" while we are car camping,
to carry a few items and have room for souveniers.

Oh wow,I didnt see page 2 of this thread!
Great report Horndog,thanks!
Love that area you hike in.

They make right and left shoulder carry versions.
