That Make It Happen

This pack is small enough for day adventures without feeling like way too much pack. It is also big enough (just) for overnighting if you bring just what you need: sleeping pad, sleeping bag, minimalist kitchen stuff for one, clothing, food, water, etc. I love the leather, canvas, etc. instead of the ubiquitous synthetics used in other packs, the "natural" materials somehow feel better...silly but there it is. The Cliff Jacobsen pack is basically a modified Nessmuk with lighter canvas and two long pockets on the side instead of the two smaller pockets on the Nessmuk, also an excellent choice with the same utility and volume.
Nice pack
Excellent
I've had this pack for a decade or more, with wide ranging use, and I love it. The pockets are handy, the large open main section is exactly how I like it. I get regular compliments on it. It'd be perfect except for the handle, which is atop the flap, requiring the pack to be closed to use it effectively. If only the handle were integrated with the shoulder strap mount panel so it could be used with the flap open! That's my main use case for the handle: when the flap is open. But don't be deterred much by this quibble, it's still a great pack.
The perfect size pack for my son to use for school and into his college days. Great craftsmanship and look.
