Yea that Beretta 92, really important for an overnighter. Oh and don't forget that pair of extra COTTON socks, :D

[PennyPincher25]

So let me see...he's going on a cool weather overnight camping trip, brings a tent and hammock, but no first aid, no fire starting equipment, no extra clothing other than what he will be wearing when he leaves (plus 1 extra set of cotton socks), no extra food or materials to hunt, trap, fish or kill small game. I hope he is camping in his back yard.

whats the dimensions ? website says its 7in deep.... i know that aint right

[TRUTHandANSWERS]

Is the vulture as big as the kelty raven?

[JimmyGunXD556]

maxpedition has 6 x 6 pouches for the molle  on the hip straps this would be perfect for your camera and other small go to items

The reason i gave it a thumbs up was for the bible! nice man

Lose the Maglight. Seriously. They weigh like three pounds at least. And the cotton. Cotton kills. Good way to die, wearing wet cotton.

Maybe a lighter sleeping bag? The one you have looks massive!

Consider the instant pasta sides at the super market to mix it up over the MRE things.

To fill the outer compartment up more effectively, load it first. The inner items are more compressible.

Might want to add a 20' hank of paracord too, for emergency purposes.

Hey Nebula, based on the ignorance of your useless commentary I feel it is safe to assume you are an authority on Toilet Paper as you are obviously totally full of Sh**.

I also use this pack:

1) You failed to mention hydration compartment.

2) You didn't mention molle attachment points...I added 2 maxpedition pouches for galley/propane and latrine/hygene storage.

3) I keep bulky items lashed to exterior. Leaves more room for additional clothing, food, etc.

4) I lash tent to the side molle's of pack. I set-up my tent first and don't want to empty pack on ground to access it.

5) I lash my bag to the bottom and pad on top.

6) Poncho & 1st aid at nearest spot

@nebula25x and toilet paper

[MrSurvivalistBoy]

if you dont carry a water bladder you could take the poncho liner out of the sack you have it in and stuff it in the water bladder compartment.

@XsweetxsacraficeX I agree, something like The North Face Terra 45 pack. I personally want a better suspension system than what the Maxpedition has when the load starts going north of 30 lbs.
