Maxpedition Falcon II Pygmy

Mom and I were talking the other day, when she said that her and dad needed a small backpack to carry their rock hunting tools in. The first pack to come to mind was a Maxpedition Falcon II Pygmy.

During the spring and early summer time mom and dad will do some rock / arrow head hunting here in East Texas. They will load up the 4-wheeler, get some bottled water, snacks, rock hammer and head out.

The requirements for the backpack include:

Not too big
Something large enough to carry water and snacks
Large enough to hold a rock hammer and guide manual
Durable

Getting the maxpedition vulture II ready for a camping trip

One is supposed to be next weekend, on March 13 to Dam B in Jasper, Texas. There is supposed to be another camping trip on the river, and another camping trip along the Sabine River sometime this summer.
