    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

    Macpac still make some good gear at reasonable prices (provided you buy during the frequent sales or clearance not rrp), even if its not quite as tough as old Macpac stuff was.

    None, but we have a stack of different models of them at work, along with other brands.

    Exped Lightning 60 or ULA catalyst were the two I narrowed down to recently. Chose the exped. Not as rugged as macpac but light(1.1kg vs macpac ravine 2.4kg).

    I'm thinking of trying a OnePlanet pack, construction is just as good as cactus but the harness system is much better.

    Does the traverse have a frame? Mostly looking at the larger packs.
