    It looks to be about 44", but just to make sure we're on the same page, I'm talking about the Versipack Jumbo, and not the Devil Dog you've linked on page 1.

    It still works amazingly well as a belly pack, I can "high knee" and barely touch the bottom of it when doing so. If you can't get the Devil Dog I'd highly recommend this pack in its stead.

    Gotcha, I missed the versipack, so the 44 is the over the shoulder strap then ??

    The 44" is the waist strap. I didn't measure the shoulder strap, but I'll bet that's pretty close to 60"

    I've read on some other forums about people using a little belly/fanny pack for a first aide/blow out kit.

    Nothing flashy, just a straight fanny pack hanging down in front for quick access.
    If you think that come SHTF you are gonna jock up in all your kit and be a death-dealing one man army, you're an idiot - izzyscout

    When I was hiking a lot, that's sort of what I did. I had a cheapo fanny pack and pretty small. I kept a small FAK, nothing near extensive enough to consider it a blowout kit. Plus a couple of snack item and maybe some gloves and a hat in cold weather.
