    Small note -- you're lumbar support panel is backwards. The webbing and aluminum should be facing the inside of the pack.

    Happy to see another showcase of this pack, I've had my eye on this one for a while. Please do an update when/if you get the Prairie Belt to go with it. :)

    Thanks for the comment. This pack is so comfortable, I'm not sure I even need the belt now. But if I get it, I'll do an update alright.

    @@The_gear_review_channel 👍 I have heard that the belt is definitely not necessary. The main appeal for me is being able to keep the essentials easily accessible and being able to remove the pack without having to take off the belt so I can downsize when I get to camp.

    Great gear and glad you like the HPG stuff too. I have used an Umlindi V1 since they were first released. (Had a Tarahumara and Kitbag since 2012). I have yet to have a better one. Tried the Connor and the Junction...went back to the Umlindi each time. I sold off my Connor but kept the Junction as I bought the silnylon version and can utilize it as a 'spare'. New sub today!

    Did you ever get the belt? In my preliminary setup which I'm still dialing it in, I got a low profile water bladder pack that has MOLLE on the front, so when I installed it to the backpack I didn't lose any of the MOLLE real estate. I'll be using one of the water bottle pockets for a compact foldable chair and haven't decided what I'll do with the other one. Maybe either a tent or a pad. I think with those wings it seems inconvenient to have to unstrap to get to my water. I have yet to filed test it yet so I'd love to hear other people's configurations with this pack.

    Having to unstrap to get to water bottles is a curse but Core performance have a water bladder that looks interesting for use in this pack. I don't have the belt yet unfortunately. Can't ever find it in Europe in the colour I want.

    You won't regret buying a HPG backpack. Incredibly well built. Check out their Facebook group if you can. Loads of great people post on it and share ideas about gear. The Crud Sweden Gjora gloves are a must my man. They age so well and feel so good. Thanks for the comment and support and enjoy the evening 👊🏼⚒️

    The straps on the bottom cover my winter weight reindeer hide so depending on the sleeping bag volume that shouldn't be an issue. For me it's the perfect edc pack which can be extended as an overnight system. @HillPeopleGear have a great pack with more volume called the Umlindi v2 which has straps on bottom, back and top. That for me would be a dedicated overnight pack or luxury day pack that can easily be extended due to the extra volume and strap systems for a weekend trip.
