I'm seeing a lot of good thing said about the pop up 28, but the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is that it only opens from the top. Also, no molly loops... I wish the pop up 28 had the zipper configuration of the pintler... I'd would go with the pintler, but A... its huge... probably much bigger than I'll need...B... price...C... I like the accessibility of the pop up load shelf a lot more... I'd like to carry my sticks in the load shelf, platform strapped to the front with the main bag really reserved for water,snacks and winter clothes... I'm in MN so I go from wearing jeans and a long sleeve shirt, to 3 to 4 layers with first lite sanctuary setup... so my extra clothing goes from zero to filling a whole pack... just wondering if there are people with a similar setup that works well for carrying in bulky layers
