i just bought a military surplus type backpack from cabelas. my problem has always been that the shoulder straps tear, they've only been lasting 1 or 2 seasons for me. i guess i bring too much junk with me. the other problems i have is the zippers go all the way down the sides so when it's hanging from the tree stuff tends to spill out when it's opened too far by accident. the one i recently got is made much better then the past ones and it is huge. only cost $19. it's canvas, so i'll just have to be carefull to dry it out every time. very glad i bought it though.


i also have a fanny pack with attachments (that I had to put zip strips on to keep the attachments from falling off). with the 2 attachments it's good for most my couple hour trips. tough to bring any food with though.
