i purchased the D3 at a cullum & borem sporting goods store back in 1978. i paid $79.00 for it, to go from dallas texas to northern montana hitchhiking. never failed. still have it and the paper work that came with it.

it was my first experience with a large pack but i have no complaints with this one. for years i could not remember if it was a D3 or D4 until i found the paper work. the D4 i think was a bit smaller than the D3. my friend had some other kind of external frame pack and it busted sometime during the trip.
but the pack came through fine.

we packed through the bob marshal wilderness in montana and was gone for 9 weeks, a chipmunk did a little nibbling on one of the shoulder straps but its not bad just frayed a little, grand times back then.

i've taken up horses now. but i still have the memories and pictures even though my friend has passed away, i still have the memories of that time in my life. and this is still a great pack, i didn't know how good it was until i got back and thought about the job it had done with no problems at all.....good job jansport.
