How would this pack do for a 6-7 day trip with a 29 oz sleeping bag that packs down the size of a football a 3.5 pound tent and all the basic gear and food. Too small?

Depends on how light you tend to pack. I have a 40L pack and a 50L pack that are all I need for up to a week. This pack is nearly 60L so it depends on what else you have to put in there. Obviously Jetboils and GPS's are extraneous and will require more space. You may also be taking photography equipment, mountaineering / climbing gear, or fishing gear which will require more pack space than general backpacking. The experience you have will dictate how much you 'need' in the backcountry, and the less you take, the more fun you will have while on the move. I think this pack is a good size / weight. My theory on packs is - the less bells and whistles, the better. You definitely want to stay under 4 lbs.
