Here's my pack. I like it, but it's getting kinda old:

Camp Trails - thats a blast from the past for me! My first pack was a Kelty external frame pack that I picked up when the Wildernest (local outdoor store) went out of business at its previous location. My next pack was a Camp Trails something or other internal frame model that I picked up off of a NetNews posting for $65 (am I dating myself with that reference to NetNews??) my first year in college. It was a horrible light blue/purple color but did the trick for a few years, until it eventually ripped out a the top of the stays. Then it was on to a Gregory, a brand that will let you comfortably haul a ton of gear, at the expense of hauling an extra 5-8 pounds of pack. And finally, I'm liking the Golite offerings, since my trips are shorter now. I'm hoping my kids get into it and I can go on some extended outings again.
