Hauled my D3 all over Colorado in the 80’s, loved that pack and the places it took me to.
Razz, occasionally around here in Montana I still see some old duffer with a D3. In fact, I came across such a guy this summer in the Beartooth. We had a great conversation about the old D3!
I'd still rather haul 75lbs in a D3 than in PWN's Alice... I'm not enough of a man for that sort of torture!
