Hello all,

Serious wilderness adventurer, and have logged many. many miles via horseback into the Lee Metcalf (MT) and Washakie (WY) Wilderness areas. Packing my gear was easy via the pack saddles and panniers.. however, the photography bug has bitten me and good and now most of my packing is via backpack. My situation is that I am taking a good amount of photography gear that weighs 40+ lbs and I need to take in the gear that allows me to spend 3-5 days. I have a pack now and it's marginal at best and after all the miles logged this summer I'm in need of a better pack.
Soooo I need suggestion on comfortable well built packs that make heavy loads easy on ya...

I'm all ears.
