Don't ask why, but I was able to carry 2 gallons of paint, 100 feet of 1/2" rope, a paint grate for a 5gal bucket, and two monster energy drinks in this thing for a small hike. Surprisingly, the paint cans could fit side-by-side, so I didn't have to precariously stack them. Other than this, the buckles for the side pockets keep undoing themselves and the zippers for the zippers for the side pockets are a little finnicky and get stuck easily. Also, no matter how I adjust the should straps, the buckle for across your chest ends up on my throat. I feel like choking myself in a hike is not the best idea.<br />Uodate: every buckle unbuckles itself at some point. It's like they aren't locking well enough
