Just ordered mine from cheaperthandirt... for $159!! Anyone have this backpack? if so what "mods" have you done? Im a photographer so Im going to use this to keep a few photo items in. I was thinking of buying one of a smaller pouches to go inside to store and lens or two. Any recommendations? I was also thinking of some small organizational pouch for pens, knifes and other small things. anyone have this? http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/E-D-C-POCKET-ORGANIZER-14p961.htm something like this to store a lens/flash or somthing http://www.511tactical.com/All-Products/Bags-Backpacks/Pouches/106-Pouch-Horizontal.html or http://www.511tactical.com/All-Products/Bags-Backpacks/Pouches/66-Padded-Pouch.html
While I don't have my bag yet, it is on order. As a professional amateur photography, I thought about using the bag to carry some equipment as well. While the pouches you listed would work, they are not padded. I would suggest a camera bag insert. There are several companies that make them (search Amazon or Google to find them) in all different sizes and capacities. If you wanted to get fancy, and spendy, you could always have something sewn up similar to the ammo mules, but designed for camera equipment. As far as your organizational pouch question, I have that exact pouch. I use it to hold extra pens, pencils, a sharpie, a highlighter, and a couple of small miscellaneous things. The pouch always stays in my work backpack. I have found it really handy for my intended use and the pouch has been very durable thus far.
