Meant to reply ALOT sooner, but got side tracked. So many different options to look at.

As a number of you mentioned, the fact there isn't a popular system shows how difficult it is. What I would call a "daypack" might not be what others do, and that makes sense.

I'm going to check out all I can up there, might reply with some questions, but I'll give more thought on the packing everything in smaller compression sacks, bags and baggies.

My biggest issue was those parts of the backpacks that are "sectioned" for things like pens, hooking keys, etc. Everything fits great, but a PIA to move between packs!

For the record, my two packs are:

Osprey Atmos 50
North Face Neutron 32

As Outdoor_quest mentioned, Oregon Packworks sounds like it's just what you asked about. I know a couple of hunters who have raved about it.

Anything that customizable will be heavier, obviously. What also adds weight to Packworks is the ability to carry a heavy load. Not as handy backpacking, but for hunting and especially a bug out bag where you might want to salvage something heavy, it's nice to be able to carry 100lbs a short distance.

Don't forget about their piggyback system.

I'd love to go with one of their smaller, flat packs like the Marauder and then piggyback something like their E&E.

Note another good thing about Kifaru vs other stuff like Maxpedition (although I like and have a BUNCH of Maxpedition gear), is they appear to pay a lot more attention to suspension systems.

Alas, they are a bit pricey.
