By new do you mean the gen IV or the entire line?

The only one I am familiar with is a Gen 2 which has a black plastic frame. It's a POS. Awkward to move with and painful to carry. Lots of room though.

I do know that they have a new frame out there. My buddy was showing off the new frame last month before he headed out to the sand box.

I love my G3 Operator Eberlestock pack. Love It! I carried this pack with me for two weeks during hunting season (i work nights right now, so I got to go every day this season). I carried it on other trips with guns in the scabbard, and it is loaded up and ready as a bug out bag as we speak.
But, it is heavy, it is big, and it is not really a "day pack" style bag. More an overnighter.

+1 on Eberlestock, I've got 3 of their packs and love everyone of them. The Operator is a good one, so is the standard "Just Ones" (J104, J105, J107).
The X1A1 is a nice smaller size as well.

The Condor 3 day pack may be a little large for what you are needing, but I love mine. Desert Tactical has them. Was $77 shipped to me.

I went with a Camelbak HAWG for use as a GHB. Miami is rather urban and bugging in is the plan based on the Month of the Hurricanes back in '05 lol.
Simple list that I'm still putting together:
Small toiletry kit (toothbrush/toothpaste, disp razor, small shaving cream, deodorant, foot powder) and my one question about this: those 'shower' camp towellette things. Ever use them?
One pair Underwear (two for two nights)
One pair socks (two for two nights)
One complete MRE (FSR preferred ....... if I can find one) (two for two nights)
Full 3L bladder
M&P handgun and two clipazines
small TP roll just in case lol
small, basic FAK
Eneloop charger/battery. For example this can charge/run any small USB device. It can charge my iPhone 2.5 times.
LED headlamp (suggestions?)
other ideas I'm having:
Thermo-Lite 2.0 Bivvy
Inflatable pillow
Fleece
Additional pants and polo shirt
the MRE really takes up room lol. I'm considering adding a generic pouch to the outside MOLLE

Well its Florida and we all know that the key in the aftermath of a hurricane in the sunshine state is water, water, water, and oh yeah water. I think that bugging in requires a completely different load out but for moving from point A to your bug in location that looks like it might work. But I would consider some extra canteens. Heck go to wally world and buy their fanny pack / dual canteen carrier combo if you want to look low key. If you are thinking of just one day for travel have you considered ditching the MRE and putting in a power bar or two and a can of ravioli? OH as for the camp towelettes..just buy unscented antibacterial baby wipes. Same thing and the baby wipes are a lot cheaper.

BTW Danpass your web site is awesome. Thanx.
OK guys are we talking about daypacks here or something one can live out of for 3-5 days. IE carry a tent, stove, sleeping bag etc, or just water, powerbars, and a rain suit??
