X2 on the Asbell. I really like the design and the room it has.

I have a Bison Gear.  I really like it.  It is well made, has several external pockets and plenty of room.  It has been great for turkey hunting.  You can also get them custom made.  They are great folks to deal with.

I like my Asbell very much, but I also have a Filson bag that I sometimes use.

I carry an Israeli paratrooper bag. Same style. But at $15 it's cheap.

Two Tracks posted a nice looking bag awhile back that looked real nice.

What does something like that Bison pictured above cost?  I didn't see anything like that on their website.

If someone wanted one of those packs like this one pictured, can you have them add a pouch to hold a water bottle on the side?

That's what I need, a Haversack that will let me carry a water bottle.

Thanks for the pics.

I made my own. years ago. look for one with pockets high towards the top inside. it makes it easier to keep stuff organized.

The one I ordered was 135.00$ They will try to accommodate whatever you ask for.  I am pretty sure he said the side pockets will hold water bottles.
