All Day Lumbar Pack

The reason I call this a "butt pack" because I'm a former US Marine Sgt, infantry. We had all the Molle attachments on our belt that "floppin and poppin" flying around when we ran--so I wish we had a Duluth Lumber Pack that's designed into "One" piece. Strong, good looking, professional, and handy. Actually, this pack is my accouterments for my Apocalypse Gear if the world ever hits the fan. I put on Filson's --Oil-Finish-Wax--in side and out and even H-shoulder suspenders, and all seams, then dried it for a week. No tacky or slimy--so my gear is set up for 40 years--at least. Expensive, but built right and worth it!

This is my 1st lumbar pack, and I'll never use a larger day pack. Works well for storing shells during hunting, and the dual bottle holders are great for me since I’m a liquid hound. My 1st backpack from Duluth pack was purchased over 30 years ago for canoeing the BWCA and still looks great. Now own the rifle pack, waist pack, and the tear drop pack for fly fishing, built to last!!

All the adjustments to the shoulder strap length is on the back side. If I try to adjust to a useable length the patch that binds the back together rides on my neck. If the shoulder straps are comfortable on me the waist strap rides above my belly button. I am not enormous. I wear a men Large t-shirt. This thing was designed by an idiot, or I got a Friday afternoon shoulder strap assembly. Either way the price is not justifiable.

I have had my All Day Lumbar for several years. The new ones are a little different, by the way. Any way, it has served me well those many years until last night and thieves broke the window out of my truck and guess what was the only item stolen�I'll be getting a new one soon.

I bought this pack for hunting and it definitely fits the bill but since hunting season has not arrived yet it has found other uses. Very comfortable and durable. It fits everything I need with room to spare. Good for rappel because it keeps your center of gravity lower while on rope.

This is my utility pack, when I don't want a cumbersome large pack. Used to free up my hands as I'm slogging folding chairs or a cooler to a sporting event and need an extra set of hands. \r\n\r\nAlso perfectly sized for a long walk with a dog through the subdivision and don't want a big pack getting my back clammy when I just need two water bottles and backup rain gear for the duration.

I've had this pack for about 3 years now and I love it. I've used it for hiking, hunting and I keep it in my car as a survival kit. It holds a lot more than I thought it would when I was considering buying it. I routinely keep about 3 meals worth of MRE's, a large space blanket, full size poncho, cordage, snacks, belt knife, fire starting stuff and a whole lot more. Add 2 40 oz canteens and it is good to go. This style pack does require finding the right fit and you have to play with all the strap lengths to find the comfort zone. I say this because I used to have a fire pack when I was a firefighter that was similar in concept and most people either hated the style or loved it and it was usually because they did or didn't find the best fit. I highly recommend this pack if you are seriously considering this style of pack. The durability and capacity are phenomenal.
