I'm over the Hyperlite Southwest 3400 pack. I took it on my latest backpacking trip on the Napali Coast of Kauai and I've come to the conclusion that it isn't for me. There are too many other packs I'd rather use. In this video I share the gear my wife and I used, the gear that really stands out, and what I'm no longer using.
