It might work for some people, but be warned that the hip belt on this pack, and all the acrux packs, is quite minimal, so you'll be supporting a lot of the weight on your shoulders. So I suppose it depends how much weight you're carrying.

It would work as far as functionality, but it's not that big. Depending on how light you pack, It'll probably only be good for about 4 days of gear/food. "Extended" to me says more like 7-10 days, in which case I'd look at something in the 55-60 liter (3300-3600 cu in.) range.______________IMO, if you plan on using a backpack for being in the wilderness for 7-10 days, unless you can pack really light, I'd look at a pack that has at least 4500 cu in capacity. This pack would probably work well for an overnight trip, but based on it's size, that's as far as I'd be willing to go.
