A big thumbs up to Darren at One Shot Tactical for a great transaction. I've wanted a Versipack Jumbo for some time, and it's been well worth the wait. Here are a few pics of the new pack (with my od/orange RC-4 from Dale at TKC riding along).
I'm really impressed with the size of the bag. It's not bulky or cumbersome at all, yet it can hold a metric crapload of gear. Just in the auxiliary pockets I have a comprehensive first aid kit, a fixed blade knife, a leatherman, flashlight, medic shears, tweezers, emergency blanket, water purifying drops, and alcohol gel. The entire main compartment is still free to handle whatever the day's loadout requires: SLR camera, food + stove, whatever
