I have a tactical tailor 3 day assault pack-it is big & bombproof. And, has MOLLE attachment points all over it, for even MORE pockets...
I love TT's stuff. I usually go there & buy stuff on my annual visit to my brother. This stuff is rugged, and real-world tested. You cant go wrong with them.

The Karrimor Sabre 45 should fulfill your requirements.

If you need more capacity the additional PLCE side pockets will take the capacity from 45 litres to 70 litres.

I would tend to agree with what Pete wrote but if you're simply wanting some personal recommendations, I've got 2 Camelbak "BFM" rucksacks. Both in desert camo. I use one as a Ham radio bag when I do volunteer work and the other is a dedicated first aid/trauma bag that I use on remote locations while working.

Hard to beat in quality for the price, I got em both off of ebay brand new from private sellers for around $100 each.

They come with a very nice hydration bag/hose system. Might be a little large at 2500 cubic inches/ 42 liters of capacity for a carry on bag.

Hi Pete,

I live in Israel and finding a "good survival store" is, unfortunately, not an option for me.

We do have "camping / outdoors" stores but the choice is fairly limited.

Take care

I've got a Camelbak BFM which I use for camping/outdoor trips/travel. I usually take out the waist belt while travelling as it adds bulk and makes it difficult to get into overhead bins on planes.

Try the Becker Patrol Pack. No personal experience with this one but always hear and read good stuff about them. Maybe someone else on the forum has personal experience and recommendations on this one.

I carried a BPP for a LONG time - my only downsides - 1)They really don't fit large looseleaf binders - the ones that are like 2" wider than the paper, and a lot of laptops don't fir well, otherwise, I love it

Hi NightHiker,

I have placed an order for the Blackhawk 3-day tactical pack.

It will probably take some time to get here...

Will let you know how it goes.

Take care

I used one of those in Cuba for a year-loved it, swallows gear! Rugged as hell too-that terrain was NOT forgiving! I went through 3 pairs of boots there...
