Gear List - Version 4 - a new pack

I finally decided my faithful pack was way too heavy and bought a Golite. I see a lot of these on the trail these days. The Golite seemed a little flimsy compared with my old pack, but it held up really well on the trail. No rips or scratches from thorns, rocks, branches, etc. No torn seams or straps popping out of the stitching. I'm very happy with my new pack, and so are my knees.
