Here’s what I typically carry in mine:

first aid kit

sharpening kit (strop/sandpaper)

1 – 2 liter water bladder

2nd sheath knife

‘game kit’ – 2 game bags, 30′ 9mm cord, rubber gloves

extra layer (usually rolled up and strapped to the top of the pack)

various snacks

camera

warm hat

light rain jacket

calls/wind powder

compass

bear spray

’emergency kit’ – tinder, lighter/firesteel, chemical handwarmers, heat reflector sheet, etc.

Even later in the season, I don’t need to carry much more than that, and if so, I just transfer some of the smaller stuff to my cargo pockets, etc. If you use a drop/thigh holster it doesn’t seem to interfere at all with a firearm. Keep in mind that this is their smallest pack, too. I recently purchased an add-on pouch that they offer for a little additional capacity.

Basically, yeah. Here’s a stock pic from their site that gives a better idea until I can get some more pics:
