Fair enough!
Err yeah, its American and its beyond niche for 95% of the population. Its mandatory to carry a bear can in most of the Sierra but fitting bear cans inside of packs sucks. This is a great option. Conventional wisdom says have your heaviest item (food) in the middle of the pack directly against your back, but with it here, the weight is attached directly to the floating hip belt and it doesn't feel like you're carrying one at all.
Either way: nunatakusa.com - very nice, very pricey. My quilt is also made by Nunatak and its the definition of luxury.

Fair comments all round but these walks are just an excuse for two old mates to annually catch up and we don't take it too seriously. As my back begins to give up I will probably get a weight weeny mentality but for now it's fresh pants, socks and t-shirts... pure lux.
@JB. That first pack looks good - is it a US brand? My 33 is a cracking day bag and I won't be retiring it yet but there are definitely times where I could do with something bigger... beach towel springs to mind. Or whenever I'm with my son and have to carry double crap.
@el_presidente. Sorry, you're right 3L is mental, I meant 1.5 (2x750ml water bottles).
