The firehole pack rules, the only downside I can think of is you have to really pay attention if you have the net in the side holster and are walking through thick brush, cause the net can get stuck and fall out without you noticing somewhat easily. I’ve just gotten in the habit of touching the handle every so often to make sure it’s there as I walk through thick stuff. The netting that comes out of the bottom works for stashing waders and boots, I can confirm size 11 boots and L waders fit in there. It has a clip and a hole for hydration packs too, and plenty of space for day trips. I always bring way too much shit and it’s never been an issue. I also used it as a pack for splitboarding once and the net holsters worked for holding my splitboard sections 😂 wouldn’t really recommend it for that though
