Setting up a Maxpedition Condor II for my daughter

http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=74439
http://www.maxpedition.com/ In the summer of 2008 my my daughter, my son and I were on a camping trip, when the zipper on my daughters pack broke. When some of her equipment fell to the ground, I decided to get rid of those cheap packs and go with Maxpedition packs.

The condor II is 1950 cu. in. and is perfect for overnight camping trips.

Why do you use a 2 quart military canteen? I think a camel back is a much better choice because it distributes the weight down the back instead of on 1 side, plus it makes it easier to drink while hiking.

whatisunknown - did you watch the video? The pack has a place for a water bladder, but I do not have a spare bladder for this pack right now. When I get a spare bladder, the canteen might be removed, but then again I might just add a second 2 quart canteen on the other side.

do you normally prep your kids equipment? i would've thought it would more rewarding for them to do it themselves with your guidance

@theenathan

Buy VIP status to avoid being banned? Should have told them to go fuck themselves.

@urkingod when I was 5 years old going to kindergarten in Seattle WA they made us all have an earthquake/ bug out bag. it really depends on the person and what they feel they need. Now that I'm 21 I keep 2 bags prepped at all times to serve dual prepossess, the first is my day/overnight pack.. it's got everything I need if I want to go for a day hike or combined with me EDC, everything I need to either bug out or just go meet a friend out of town/state. I use all my high end gear daily :-)

Dear SurvivalistBoards,

I'm pretty sure I'm going to purchase a Maxpedition backpack, but I'm torn between the Falcon II and Condor II. In your opinion which is a better backpack? The Falcon has 1520 cubic inches of space while the Condor has 1920. This is more a matter of space issue because according to him 1520 won't be as comfortable as fitting items in as a larger pack.

Thanks, Mike

Do you prefer this condor over the falcon, and why?

@survivalistboards T Pennington said to contact you here about my account being baned on survivalboards "theenathan" I had made two accounts and was told to buy vip status to avoid ban and I paid for VIP and then got baned. HELP

Al these TRENDY EDC / BAG OUT BAG are nice and cool. But how much do we really use these expensive tools in a expensive bags ????

I got a knife stolen out of my car at a local car shop, the knife was $30, but it was a big deal for me. I want to go MINIMUM on price and what I carry now... Depend on where you live and what you do for living, MOST people do not need huge bags with tons of expensive tools inside a bag. Speaking from a personal experience.
