Once, I hiked 600 miles on the AT with this pack, from Katahdin to Massachusetts. Soon after the 100 Mile Wilderness, where I carried 10 days' supply, I mailed home the removable daypack on top. The Shasta is a bit too heavy for my liking, but practically bomb proof, without lotsa straps and such. For large packs, I prefer GoLite, which give you cubic inches while cutting down on one of your heaviest items, the pack. Notably, the top compartment has proven to be one of my most reliable daypacks, tested in the Northwoods, Utah's high deserts and the Mayan Mountains of Belize. A worthy investment, indeed.
