    I assume Kifaru and HPG will be well represented and for good reason but I am curious to see everyone's multi day packs.

    I am thinking about a Stone Glacier, Kifaru, or an Exo Mountain Gear.

    I bought this Dana Designs Terraplane in 1991 or 92. It was made in Bozeman MT and has been used a LOT....it still carries well and is bombproof...so many good memories tied to this pack.....I love my Kifaru and Hill People Gear but this is where it started...

    for heavy loads my favorite is the kifaru zxr (brown pack in this pic). i had to carry 6 liters of water that day and i was new to hammock and didn't have an underquilt yet so had two foam pads strapped on the outside...still felt great.

    look at my buddy's pack on the left...he's carrying way lighter load than me because he's somewhat of an ultralighter but his waist belt and shoulder straps are already all squished :D the advice i give to people is a pack designed for heavier loads but you're carrying light is still better than a light pack that's loaded near it's max limit.

    for the summer months when i'm below 30 lbs i like the kifaru ku3700.

    in either case though i still carry a gossamer gear riksak that holds my baseline gear so i can wander away from base camp or easily ditch my main pack if i had to...17 liters and 5 oz.

    my kifaru packs have been discontinued a long time ago though but if i were to buy what's available now i'd go for their tactical frame and the amr (australian mountain ruck) bag...patrick rollins has one as far as i know. it's their most versatile big bag i think - the most compression straps so it converts easily to day pack mode.

    I might be getting an Eberlestock Battleship from a local guy in the next couple days.

    Does anyone here know how their warranty would be if I’m the second owner if anything went wrong with it?

    I have a Hi Speed and while it's a decent bag it left me wanting.

    I haven't found a pack that beats my HPG Umlindi for versatility. It can be a good-sized day pack, and capable of adapting for trips of 1-3 nights. Simple, durable, comfortable and modular - everything I need a pack to be.

    Well the hi speeed is more of a day pack. The HT is an extremely organized pack that can haul insane loads ( I had three deep cycle batts in mine once)

    My umlindi. Light weight. Modular. And can carry a winter load out better and lighter than my other packs.
