I know there have been numerous threads about backpacks. I just wanted to start another one because I think my addiction for packs is almost as bad as my addiction for knives. I have a Maxpedition Sitka on its way and I currently carry a Falcon II. I also have a Fatboy that spends a lot of time in the woods. What do you guys carry and what is attached to it? Lets see your pics and I will get some up as soon as I get a chance.
 
I use a Maxpedition Vulcan II for weekend trips outdoor or even Vegas. My wife has one aswell. I rotate between a Kelty Peregrine 1800 and Mountain Hardwear Enterprise for everyday carry/tactical diaper bag.

I have a couple Maxpedition Versipaks in the closet, the single strap design started to bother my neck so i dont really use them anymore.

I am looking to pick up a Maxpedition Falcon II Pygmy soon to try out.
 
I like it, But its a little on the small side. However, with only one strap, you don't want to overload it.
 
I have a pygmy falcon but looking to upgrade. It has too much organization for me and I don't like the fabric on the back. It's too hot in the summer and tends to grab and pull my shirt up. Plus, a full 1/4 of my daypack weight(excluding water) is the pack itself. I may end up with UL pack in the end.
 
I have a Vulture ll and want to get a Maxped jumbo.

And a Maxpedition Sitka for EDC, Haven't taken pics of it.
 
My daily "drag to work" bag is a Kifaru Xray and my weekend and general adventurin' bag is currently a TAD fastpack EDC which I may or may not be replacing with a smaller bag :)

I'm pretty bad about bags too tho, to be honest :D
 
For a day bag I use a camelback trizip. It's the first day bag I've ever found that fits my long torso. For backpacking a Lowe alpine bag.
 
I've had Maxped', 511, Tactical Tailor, Arcteryx LEAF and for a small pack NOTHING has come close to my Gregory Z-30. I know it is not tactical, but it hugs your body and barely moves while running. If you can do without the Molle this is a great pack.
 
A lot of love for Maxped, I expected to see more Kifaru and Eberlestock, but I love Tac Packs :D. My current is a Kelty Falcon 66, and it works well for me.
