A more compact version of the Mayhem EVO 45, this bag maintains all the same features necessary for secure and convenient gear and tool carry, as well as thoughtful internal organization and a wide opening hybrid zippered access. This bag excels when needing to stay organized while exploring technical backcountry terrain.
Critical days require critical packs, the Mayhem EVO 30 agrees.
The Mayhem EVO 30 liter backpack is a mission-ready workhorse designed for all day comfort and best-in-class gear organizing performance. With design help & input from various Colorado-based Search & Rescue (SAR) teams, this hybrid panel loader pack system delivers robust and versatile organization (bugout bag anyone?); keeping you focused on demanding backcountry pursuits and built for professionals, survivalists, hunters and outdoorsman who rely on their gear in any situation.
Modular features like the customizable, girth hitched compression straps and a reversible front panel (Hi-Vis Blaze Orange) allow you to easily secure and organize your gear while staying visible in challenging conditions. The wide clamshell-style main compartment offers easy zippered access while maximum visibility is the rule with its blaze orange lined interior. Bottom panel loops allow for external A-Frame ski carry and the V-Cinch top compression webbing allows for rope management or even securing a small-to-mid size chainsaw body in the field. Internal organization features include zippered mesh pockets, a PALS webbing panel, vertical daisy chains for climbing gear organization, vertical slash pockets, hook & loop panel for accessory attachments, and an internal hydration bladder sleeve carries up to 3L (not included). Modular compression straps allow for customizing your load carrying style and the shoulder straps integrate with our new Timber EVO (SM / MD) and our ZERK 3L Loki Lumbarconvertible waistpack for additional EDC chest carry options. Use the waistbelt PALS webbing to carry our extra, zippered accessory pouch, The Roo or go even more robust and slap a Timber EVO (SM / MD) on the padded waistbelt with its provided MOLLE system...bomber!

With any new pack, especially one that I use daily for trail work, it takes time to figure out where to best position items - everything from gloves to hammers. The EVO 30L has plenty of little extras essential for achieving maximum comfort and utilization. Well done Mountainsmith.

Good product to carry a chainsaw
If you’re in the market for a backpack designed to transport a chainsaw, this may be of interest to you.
Today, I packed and tested my Mayhem EVO 30 backpack from Mountainsmith for the first time. I came across it by chance while browsing deals on ExpertVoice.
The 30-liter bag provides plenty of space to carry a fuel can, wedges, hatchet, spare chain, file, gloves, water bottle, chaps, a coat, and even my large and heavy Stihl MS290 chainsaw, and more.
The hip belt is well designed, allowing most of the weight to be carried on the hips rather than the shoulders, which makes a significant difference when fully loaded. The materials and zippers are heavy-duty, and the internal frame gives the pack excellent structure.
Definitely the right back for my application (maintaining trails).
