I have been getting by for some time with three different packs for search and rescue missions spanning two to four days. Since I'm a k9 handler, I need to carry all needed gear and supplies as well as what the dog needs. The Ceres 70 is the pack I've been looking for. It will handle any season, small to larger loads and is rescue orange to boot. The great compression system and ability to carry skis, snowshoes, shovel, rope, whatever a Sierra SAR mission requires and the hydration system (good for dog) sold me. The fact that it carries well off trail is a great bonus. I generally keep the weight down to under 35lb, often only 20lb or so, but it will handle a heavier load. Other than my day pack, it's just about the only pack I need.
