I have a 3 day assault pack made by Tactical Tailor. I got it cheap, straight from the manufacturer (my brother knows them well), and they are extremely tough. Blackhawk makes a nice one too. Granted, they arent cheap; they ARE built to last though. my TT one has loops on the outside that I can attach pouches to, which makes it nice.

Tom, I had some pretty good results way back when with a pistol belt pad on my LLB Ruck's belt. With the newer pads and a couple of MALICE clips or zipties you would probably get a better ride. Heck, you could just cut the belt off at about 3 inches from the bag, stitch a loop, and use a pistol or rigger belt (or just some webbing and an SBR), two alice clips and a pad- I've seen similiar done to put good waist belts onto the SpecOps THE pack, and if pulled tight it doesn't wiggle all that much.
The other nice thing about the Continental Ruck is if you need more space, you can undo the flap straps and run them through the mounting loops for an ALICE or MOLLE buttpack.
Yes, it is a versatile little beast. Mine is still going strong after 15 years. Iron Raven, you are WAY ahead of me technically. AND I have many friends in VT.

I have one of the first generation Maxpedition Condor packs. Extremely well built, heavily constructed -- meaning heavy. If you need a very rugged pack and have bullet-proof near the top of your requirements, go for it. However, a good quality backpacking pack will give you a better trade-off in quality construction and weight. YMMV

*laughs* I was broke. I had my Continental. I needed something smaller than my ALICE. So I got inventive.

I use a backpack daily to carry my EDC. It is very light but my EDC is pretty light too. Its got more than enough room to carry some extras I might need or things i may buy. Its not unlike all the backpack links you got earlier.
The nice thing about a small daypack, or climbing pack, style is that they do NOT look militaristic and blend in with the civilian world very easily. Go with a normal looking ruck and you won't get a second look.
