i have been using this North Face Backpack for over 20 years. Today i went skiing on the University of Alaska Fairbanks ski trails. I put a full 5 gallon water jug in the pack which weighs about 40 pounds or so plus various other weight which made the pack weigh about 50 pounds and then did a 6 mile ski, fun stuff.The small pouch which is attached to the hip belt of the pack was custom made for my writing journals by Apocalypse Design in Fairbanks. It is key to have your journal, pencils, camera and any other equipment which you want readily available close at hand while hiking. This way if you see a great sight, have an inspiring thought or need a drink of water you don't need to take off your pack to get to it. It's all about saving energy.
