    definitely not a huge opening, but it is only 38L. With a bit of patience and forceful stuffing you can get most things in...

    Thanks for taking the trouble of posting a pic.

    Going where?
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Very well made. I used mine for the last 3 months of 2017 in Laos every day in the jungle for geo work and a couple hunts in 2018. Carries weight well. A bit scratchy crawling through matagouri/scrub. I have had to wash it to go through customs a couple times and the olive colour has leached a little.
    Pm if you want a photo.
    Definitely recommend it though. Its indestructible.
