did you see the other guys post he has a 3 season gear list and it's basically the same as mine now. i don't know what your income is like but i for one cannot go out and buy new gear everytime i go out backpacking, that super impratical. i know a "generic" 3 season backpack can be made, i have compared mine to like 4 other sites and to that other guys post, and it seems to me that i have all the gear down with no useless gear. i realize that for each trip there are going to be a few items that would need to be dropped and a few items that might need to be added. but for the most part i am confident that i could take this pack out in any 3 season condition and be comfortable.
