In the past year, two friends of mine in the U.S., who have often asked me for advice on gear-wilderness issues, have gone to Dan's full custom packs and both of these gents just RAVE about them. These are guys with a LOT of experience in using highend gear and they DO use their stuff a lot.

I may yet spring for a full Dyneema, but, really don't need one with the packs I now have. The pack and boots, not fancy GPS units, wrist computers and other such useless crap are where you should spend the REAL $$$$. You can now buy quite decent sleeping bags fairly cheaply, not ones like Western Mountaineerng or Valandre, probably the best bags I have of the several I own, but, good enough for most treks.

Yet, the increase in comfort and enjoyment with really FINE boots and pack add HUGELY to your backpacking trips, so, look at Dan and Dana's packs and go from there. Good luck with your search, let us know what you end up with and I know of a used G-6000 for sale, if you are interested.
