    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.
    Yeah they scratch really easy but they are durable. I jump off 10-16ft drops on mine into powder. To tell you the truth the msr binding is much better than the Atlas. That is the one thing I think they dropped the ball on. My msr bindings never have to be readjusted where my Atlas do.

    Any of you have experience with Gregory brand backpacks? I've been looking for a new pack for a while now and they seem to be the most comfortable for me. I'm not familiar with the brand so I'd be curious to know about durability, etc. Thoughts?

    I looked at them too...not so comfy (its a 'girl' thing ;))

    Here's one I liked

    http://www.rei.com/product/780067

    The shoulder straps are contoured which is a big plus and the waist strap and chest strap are a better fit too.

    I have a Gregory Baltoro 70. It's the best backpack I've ever owned.

    [​IMG]

    It's huge. Has tons of space for everything I need, plus half the GF's shit. It's essentially an expedition pack. I can carry 60lbs no problem. The frame is excellent, really conforms to my spine, and the hip belt swivels with my gate. It has external pockets which I like for organization. Plus, I modified mine to where I can take off the top pouch and it serves as a daypack.

    The women's equivalent would probably be the Deva.

    I do not personally own one, but I have heard nothing but good things from people who do own a gregory pack.

    You may want to look into Deuter packs. Their packs are mainly for women or people with shorter torso's. I currently own 3 Deuter packs and I mainly use my Deuter Futura Pro 42 for any trips that are 4 days or less and I also use it for my packrafting trips.

    Yeah. good pack! mine is the first (and only) one I have owned. I have had mine since I guess 07... i think... No issues or rips in it and we have already established that some of us are rough on our stuff.

    My wife bought me this Alps Engineering folding table as a Christmas gift. The table top is 28" x 55" (the slats roll up and the base folds):

    These have yet to be used. We brought them for our Superstition Mountain Tacoma get-together but there was a large Jeep event there and they had the large porta-potties.
