My next (and last pack) will be Kifaru.

I have a couple of these and they’ve been really good too.

That's solid stuff right there.
I did buy the Osprey setup at REI with the 30% off 4th of July sale, but even though I got a great fit out of it, there was no MOLLE. I tried to explain how I normally placed my knife right about here, my lensatic compass over there, and how my med kit was independent and off to my right side...
And I got glassed over eyes.
Nothing in that hippie world of REI gets anything about our military world. Sheep don't need med kits and larger knives I guess. And looking at the civie copies of the military lensatic compass, it has me wondering if any of them know how to do azimuth or back azimuth nav from points???

First time I was introduced to a Kifaru was from an army ranger teaching a combat medic course that had just got back from the sandbox. He flipped it open and showed us his med kit full of tampons, and I about bust a gut. Then I realized how important tampons are to a med kit.

Funny you mentioned those.
Recently I tore down my blowout bag from Kandahar. I had so many wads of gauze/cotton and clotting kits in there. Dwarfed everything else combined.
Sobering...

Between tampons and heavy flow pads a womans purse is a good start of a med kit. When my daughter was in girl scout our med kits had both. Served duel purposes

The Osprey pack from REI is great. I bought one for small weekend trips or short jaunts so its only a 48L. Definitely not to be used for multiday, long term living out of, however I have for about 5 days. Maybe something from my military time does carry over... living out of a ruck with little comfort items.
However I am going to get a larger one.

The 48 is a good size ruck!
I went at it differently. I bought the 34 for all these short hikes I am doing currently, then when I get into the overnight/multi-day hikes, I will buy another one that is obviously much larger.
