New Backpack Came In

I just got me new backpack in; a Maxpedition Gearslinger Kodiak. I’m very happy with it. It should be the last pack I’ll own if I don’t lose it or someone takes it.

I have some Blackhawk speed clips coming in along with a Maxpedition 3x5 pocket.

The pockets that are attached to the pack are some I had from before. They’ll work, but I’d like to have them match the pack.
The ONLY thing about this pack is that I have to get used to a single strap carry. Not a huge problem, it will just take a little time to get used to it.
