@rowdybeaver33 Thanks man! I have seen several videos as well, but none of them go into very much detail. I like to see the specific gear people carry, and the various methods that they store/organize it. Several of the techniques I use have been learned from other hikers.
@freewill51 Marmot came out with this pack in 2008. They also made a 65L version. Great pack, really designed for hiking in hot temps. Padding is kept to a minimum to allow better ventilation. The trade off is definitely worth it if you are only hiking for a few days. If I were going on a long expedition style hike, I might sacrifice comfort for a sweaty back. Also, this pack is not hydration compatible. Not a deal breaker for me, I usually put my bladder on the very top just under the lid.
@freewill51 I posted a video review of the pack. There is an embedded link in this video, at 1:44. You can also find it on my channel, called "Marmot Flex 50 Backpack Review." Enjoy!
Dude, I've watched literally hundreds of videos of this type and yours is one of the best set ups that I've seen. Well presented too.

Nice marmot pack. How old is it? I have not seen that one. Can you do a short vid on it? Thanks.
