So tempted...I'd never have time to actually compete being in California, but I keep looking at the dustcatchers on the shelf pondering what I could unload to afford one (looking at you,Ti-lock)

I may have gone too far trying to find the right pack.

It happens! So which is “the keeper”?

There is only 1 that I don’t think I’ll keep for sure but almost all of them have the tags on and are new so I need to spend a little more time carrying around water jugs to be sure.
Breakdown goes like this.
Mystery Ranch ASAP fits great behind a back seat so love that for daily stuff like EDC with the kids stuff. It’s comfy, fits what I need, made really well so it’s a keeper.
The Mystery Ranch Pintler is nice but I have the Exo Mountain 3500 and Mystery Ranch Metcalf in there at roughly the same size and the Exo fits me the best. I also like the Khyber 50 from Arc’teryx. I could see the Pintler going, possibly the Metcalf as well. I don’t need 4 roughly the same size.
The LBX loadout is awesome so keeping that. And the Exo fits my thiner waist just awesome so love it too. MR seems to be made a little different in the lumbar.
Khyber 50 I think I’ll keep as a backup.

Sadie is where?...
Oh, there she is. I was staring at the pile of blanks on the table and totally didn't see her.

Hey batman, I thought you only deal with black and shades of dark gray.
I have to have one setup in something appropriate for hunting! MC it is.
Otherwise yes pretty much black and grey 24/7. My current truck pack is an Arc’teryx Khard 30 but it’s a little.... not just perfect. Doesn’t compress or have a load bearing waistbelt, and doesn’t fit behind the seats. I might get a new vehicle so that might change if I get a trunk again.

Arc’teryx makes great stuff!
I got this pack at an outfitter, that was going out of business, for about $100.
That was about 15 years ago. Pack is still 100%. Has an awesome roll top, like a dry bag.
