The British army infantry used these PLCE (Personal Load Carrying Equipment) packs, or bergans, as their main source for carrying equipment. They were put to great use, until they were replaced by the current British systems. Tough and sturdy are understatements when referring to this bit of gear, you'll be sure to get a long, long, life out of it.
If you plan on going hiking, then this bag would be a great companion. Large enough to hold all your travelling, cooking and eating utensils. It won't loose its form either, as it has a sturdy, internal frame. This will also make a great bag for hunters, as it's packed to the brim with useful pockets and features. The main section will fit your weapons and hunting accessories, while the pouches store any other food or equipment you have.
