Backcountry SAR - This pack is my new go-to for the tough missions.
I'm sold. Lots of pockets, designed for on-the-move access to essentials, and when you need to get into the main storage area boom, open the clamshell and your into all of it. So important when you're operating under extreme conditions and every moment is critical.
