VETTE277

Most of the time our 72 hour pack is left a mission base, and we'll return and use whatever from it.... Maybe I'll get the smaller 4900 (I think) Cubic in. one....

As I said this is for 72 hours, but I'd like to stuff my 24 hour pack which is a Camelbak mule in it also. This is what I'll need to have with me http://www.coloradowingcap.org/Evergreen/PublicArea/EmergencyServices.asp I'm intrested in this particular pack because it's sold at a store close to me. Many people in my organization use a ALICE LARGE PACK which is military surplus which is pretty big...

Hello, I need opinions on a pack I'm intrested in. First let me give you some information about what I'll be using it for. I'm not a cubscout, I'm a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. I'll be using this back as a 72 hour pack on ground search and rescue missions where I may be looking for lost people, aircraft, etc. etc. or just use it at a shelter where I'll be on staff. I live in Florida to give you idea of climate. The pack of intrest is the Jansport Carson. I saw two verisons of it the 80 (reg.) and 90 (tall). I'm about 5"10ish 145 lbs. anyone have a reccommendation ? I was hoping for the 90 since it holds 5500 cubic inches.... Also I heard about early models having issues with the shoulder straps snapping/ripping right off under the pressure of a load ? Thanks...
