I like the tad gear fast pack lightspeed for a military style daypack. I use that a lot for single day hikes.

For multiple-day hunting trips, the eberlestock dragonfly is amazing. I can pack everything I need and the straps and internal frame keep me nimble with 50+ pounds on my back.

For quick predator hunts when I need minimal gear (because I'm never too far from my truck), I use a 1st Gen maxped condor.

For really short, quick hikes, I take 1st gen camel back outlaw. That can carry my water, rain gear, fak other bare minimum survival gear.

The maxped seems well built, but the straps limit the amount you can carry comfortably.

I have a bunch of packs. Spec ops The pack is a good one. I also really like the Becker Patrol Pack.

Do you need molle? I found I ended up never using the molle or strapping too much gear on. For a general use pack / extended weekender I like the Kelty Redwing 50. Very durable and comfy. Hiking packs have always treated me better than military packs.

Better to have and not need than need and not have. I've found it really useful on my MOAB and I've found several pouches that I like and use. I've got a 5-11 attached to the MOLLE strips on my BOB and I've got a place in mind on the Jumbo for my War Dog. I just like gadgets and am fascinated by organization since it so often eludes me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
