I'm not a climber. I hike, I ski, I globetrot. Will this pack work well in this capacity? i.e. the occasional over nighter, car camp, flight to the beach, Snowbird tram jam, and maybe some baby diapers, baby clothes, and the such for the trip to Disney or something like that? (a go to bag for it all)

jor. well, I would say it is worth a try. I know a few skiers, climbers, globe-trotters that use packs like this and enjoy them! If you are looking for a one quiver pack... this is it. One detail, the top pocket is removable which also aids in the Dihedral's overall versatility. It is a pretty basic pack, as far as the insides are concerned, and I would say that in many cases the simple solution is the best solution. Enjoy!
