Small backpacks and mini-packs seem to be all the rage right now. It seems like everyone is buying them as an Every Day Carry (EDC) bag including men like me who seldom ventured in the man-purse or "murse" arena before. These compact, low-profile packs are perfect for activities like hikes, an...

The other weekend I took some time to get my maxpedition vulture II ready for a camping trip. Over the next few months, my family and I have a couple of camping trips planned. One is supposed to be next weekend, on March 13 to Dam B in Jasper, Texas. There is supposed to be another camping...

I've had this bag for a few months now as my edc, and thought i'd pass along a review. The following are links to the maxped website for the items i've been using: The Condor II http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=106&idcategory=12 rolly polly bag...

Alright, just spent the past 72 hours rucking it around and living out of it, and I have a few comments. 1. Very comfortable on long(50km+) walks. Your back will get sweaty but that is the price you pay for a pack that sits very snug against your hips and center of gravity(these are good...

When looking for a daypack, or lightweight pack for an overnight trip, there are 2 packs that should be seriously considered - and that is the Maxpedition Falcon-II and Pygmy Falcon-II. This is not about which pack is the better between the two, but which one will suite your needs the best...

I just received this wonderful pack. Exactly the right size for my needs and fantastically well made. However, there is a feature that I can't figure out. On the top of the highest middle pocket, there is a kind of a double loop. It is about 3/4 inch wide webbing, with a small fixed and sewn in...

I want to retire my eddie bauer back pack and have thought about a versi pak as an EDC/GHB or invest in a regular back pack like a pygmy or falcon. I don't think I need a hydration feature. My goal is to have it with me all the time in my SUV. I live in CT and will be adjusting contents to go...

In 2008 my son, my daughter and I were on a hiking/camping trip. I guess it was about a 1 mile hike to the camp site. Somewhere around 1/2 way to the camp site the zipper on my daughters pack broke and some of her stuff spilled out on the ground. When that happened, I decided to get rid of...

This is a review of the Maxpedition Falcon II. About 6 weeks ago I got my son Korey a Maxpedition Falcon II. When I was 15, I wish I had a pack like this. Instead, I had a backpack that was just a little bigger then a 2 shoe boxes put side by side. The intended use for this pack is for...

Just got my maxpedition Pygmi Falcon 2 as my new day pack( can't wait to set it up). It is replacing my Maxpedition versipack Jumbo because it was uncomfortable to where. any of you guys have either of these if so how do you like it and is there anything you found about them that I should know.

I just got a Maxpedition Thermite Versipack. This is a great waistpack or shoulderpack Has many pockets and great for a day hike or weekend camping pack for light travelers. Would recommend.
