Is that a Yukon? Do you have any idea about how old it might be? Looks fairly new, or well maintained. Nice to have such a good friend. I hope you enjoy it.

that's the thing, it doesn't have a tag anywhere that states the model. i've no idea its age either, but yeah its in excellent shape. kinda looks like the Tioga model, but i'm not sure.

haha, i found a tag! apparently its a Women's pack. Trekker model.
i'm a 6'1" male, but the pack seems to fit me well and is quite comfortable. what is the difference between a men's and women's pack?

I don't know what pack it is but I think that I have an older one that is almost identical to it. Mine is green but the pockets and the "Kelty" logo are exactly the same. I think that I purchased mine around 1971-1973 if that will help you locate a name or a model number for it. I have used that pack many many times back in the day and it has some miles on it. I still think that it could be used but I have moved on to internal for a little more capacity. The rings are still good and all the pockets and their drawstrings work perfectly. I can't think of the name of the gear shop that I bought it in but it is still there too. It is in Nashville, Tn some where on Hwy 70. I just can't remember the name of the place. Any way, good luck in your search and I hope this helps you..Happy Trekking...sabre11004...
