A few more pics, as promised:

Another shot of the organizer, which partially flips out:
And here is the full pack, with the “survival pouch” that I recently purchased to add a little more capacity. The pouch has two heavy duty nylon straps and snaps on the back, that can attach to the backstraps, and still leaves room for me to strap down a layer on top of the pack without issue. Angelo mentioned last time I talked to him that the newer version of the Outfitter has d-rings on the top lid for mating to this pouch, or their larger accessory pocket they offer, called the the “Hump Cell:”
One additional thing I’d like to find to complete this set up is a small sil-nylon dry sack with a webbing daisy chain. That way I can keep whatever additional layers I need in it, and just throw it on the pack and strap it to the lid when needed. I like the “modular” approach.
