Tough to watch from the high ground as the water gets closer to our house in NW Calgary.  A neighbor did an unauthorized recce past first responder lines late last PM and reported a "floor to ceiling aquarium" in his basement. Just to be able to focus on something else and do some good I'd...

I'm not in the market, but I'll just chime in with an endorsement. I've got this pack also, and it is wickedly well-made. It'll serve any future owner well for years to come.
