This tough and flexible backpack is my short trip backpack. I can stick about 50 lbs of supplies in it, which is good since I hunt with muzzleloaders and supplies weigh a lot. This pack has never quit. I replaced the snaps on the outside pockets with quick clips and the shoulder straps and hip belt with the new MOLLE versions, but the original were fine for 15 years. Though the aluminum frame is riveted it holds up extremely well. I've welded my joints for better strength. If you are going to do that get it done professionally.

My only points against it was the frame squeaks sometimes (this can be taped), and it's top loading (thinking how you pack it will help). Altogether though, this is an excellent 'pack for any skill. If you are not hung up on 'trail fashion' then this pack can do whatever you need it to do.
