It is very good quality...but for me a much less expensive pack with a better warranty won out and I sold my Kifaru packs. Join the NRA JYD #69 If a 6 turned out to be 9 Join the NRA

Its an internal frame pack that looks like a typical daypack. Its pretty comfortable. I use it mostly as a winter survival pack so It has more than the usual stuff in it. is it the 2010? could you post pics, i wanna see exactly how big they are Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust.

It's on sale right now: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=892447 The wide flat, somewhat stiff bottom would make it great for a vehicle BOB. They have OD coming out in april so I'll probably pick up another for a BOB, while the black will be my dedicated range bag. JYD #56 Scrap Yard Sword Club #00

Over the years I've used: * USGI Medium ALICE with Frame * USGI Medium ALICE without Frame * USGI MOLLE Ruck with ALICE Frame * USGI MOLLE Assault Ruck * USGI CFP-90 * Tactical Tailor MALICE Version 3 * Blackhawk Phoenix * Blackhawk Force 5 - This is still my day-hike pack. * Blackhawk SOF Ruck Kit * Spec-Ops Recon Ultra * London Bridge Recce with Frame Kit * Others I can't remember because I'm operating on 3 hours of sleep <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I settled on the TT 3Day Plus because of the size; construction; weight; comfort; and external pockets (I'm an organizational freak). This is a graphic I created for use on another Survival forum, but I've also posted it here in another thread: This is how I have my 72hr BOB arranged. My biggest issue in deciding what ruck to use was: size (cubic inches) and external frame vs frameless. I have WAY MORE GEAR than would fit in my BOB. A lot of the extraneous gear is more INCH than BOB...which is why I kept one of my TT MALICE ruck kits <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> JYD #123 The great one formerly known as Architect.
