What BOB do you use?

[GunRunner]

Just trying to get a sampling of what BOB you all are using? I have several, but currently use a good ol' faithful MOLLE. I am considering upgrading to something a little more dated. I use a Maxpedition Vulture 2 for my EDC. Want to get a newer pack set up to keep in my car.

My EDC is an REI daypack. It stays in my truck while I'm too and from work. My other BOB pack would also be an REI pack, but more of a 3 day hiking variety. I also own a Kelty longterm hiking pack as well.

I don't have anything military-ish, although I plan on getting at least one that could double as a hunting pack. I feel like it's worth it to have that option.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that I use Maxpedition gear for nearly all of my various bags. I have several Condor II's, several Jumbo Versapacks, a Pygmy Falcon and on and on and on.

I find them to be fairly rugged, affordable and a good balance between military appearance/just another bag (not that I give two craps about that).

I have a Moutain smith Butt pack with suspenders I use for a GHB, as well as, for day hiking. I have 2 possibilities for my BOB. One a Kelty frame pack that carries great and will handle 80-90lbs as comfortable as you can be. I've had it for years with zero issues, great pack. The wife also got me a Lowe internal frame pack that I've never carried. About the same size as the Kelty, but I don't think I would want to handle more than 60-75lbs in it. I plan on testing it this fall.

I'm in the process of completely reorganizing my pack right now and god help me it is a mess. Should be a lot better when I'm done.

When you get ready to test that pack let me know and I'll join ya.

Stig, I'd love some Maxpedition gear. That's what I'd really like to get myself. But for now, I've got suitable gear that just looks every day.

I use an older version of the Mountainsmith Apex 75

I cant remember the exact name of the pack, but ive had it for 5 years and have had up to 80 pound loads with no problems. Im 6'5 and it fits me comfortably.

I like Maxpeditions gear. Its very well constructed and seems built to handle extreme abuse. Whats the biggest pack they make?

[LUNCHBOX]

I run a Camelbak H2O for the truck, I then have the choice of a standard military tuck or a Jansport Bigbear. The wife will run a Jansport Scout.

I'm 6'4 myself and have had a hard time over the years finding a pack that fits right. That's one reason I hesitate to change up when I find something that works.
