Six Moon Designs
Minimalist V2 Pack
$259.95
Description

  Six Moon Designs took the simple, clean design of the Minimalist, and using customer feedback, made it even better. The Minimalist V2 still has the perfect amount of space for all your gear and a lightweight suspension that adds just enough support but now with larger, more secure stash pockets. Even the lettering took on a new modern, subtle look. Thanks for the help making the thru-hikers dream backpack even better.

  Despite being called the Minimalist, this pack provides all the comforts of much heavier packs. It comes with a removable Delrin Hoop Stay Frame and hip belt for maximum load days. And because every long-distance hiker is different, it has a lot of configurations to suit your specific comforts and offers a remarkable amount of extra storage space.

  Comes with the standard Flight Shoulder Harness and Flight Hipbelt.

Overview
The main compartment is 40L with a 9L extension collar. It incorporates a top lid and has two additional large external gusseted pockets as well as a front stasher pocket with a pleated gusset. The top lid can be used to secure larger bear canisters too large to fit in the main compartment.

The exterior pockets add a lot of quick access storage solutions. And all the external pockets have been reconstructed for the V2, featuring larger, more secure designs.

-- Hip belt pockets are cavernous.
-- Both harness styles offer additional pockets for electronics, snacks, or other necessities.
-- 2 large asymmetric side pockets. The shorter right pocket is great for holding water bottles. The taller left pocket is perfect for carrying an ultralight tarp, tent, or tall hydration bladder.
-- Large rear shove-it sleeve for quick access to gear and rainwear.

The Minimalist V2 offers several adjustable straps and tensioners to ensure a stable, comfortable fit. The Delrin Hoop Frame is designed to shift load bearing to the hip belt, reducing the strain on your shoulders and upper body.

Frame Configuration
The Minimalist comes with a removable Delrin Hoop Stay Frame. The ends of the hoop rest on the base of the hip belt, transferring the weight to the hip belt. This design feature makes carrying heavy loads more comfortable and reduces pack sag.
Using the Delrin Hoop Stay and hip belt together increases your load carrying capacity by approximately 10 lbs*.
*We recommend a base weight of 12 lbs or less even when increasing load weight and using the Delrin Hoop Stay and hip belt.

Frameless Configuration
The Minimalist is the only ultralight, frame-less pack on the market with an adjustable torso length. This allows the Minimalist to provide unbridled comfort.
When configured as frame-less, the highest recommended base weight is 8 lbs / 3.5 kg and maximum weight not exceeding 25 lbs / 11 kg.

Standard Flight Shoulder Straps
If you’re used to carrying a traditional backpacking pack and aren’t from the running world, you will probably be comfortable with standard shoulder straps.

The EDC Knife Capable Enough for the Hunt: Benchmade Taggedout G10
  If you’re going to invest in a premium hunting knife, you should consider its overall utility. If you can carry it to work and to the backcountry, you’ll stomach that initial sticker shock a bit better than you might a highly specialized knife.   This is especially true for hunters who need a rugged hunting knife but can’t justify spending a...
Meet the Latest Batch of Rick Hinderer Knives
  Tell someone a Rick Hinderer creation is your Grail knife, and they are more likely to ask which model rather than why.

Hand assembly means focusing on one knife at a time, ensuring each is tuned for the best quality and performance....
Case Knife Celebrates Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s 100th Anniversary
  Thru-hikers and knife collectors take note: This pocketknife collaboration has a small run, and all proceeds support a good cause.   Case Knives collaborated with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) to create a knife that honors the organization’s 100th anniversary. The Limited Edition A.T. Diamond Case Trapper Knife pays homage to the trail on its handle with the iconic A.T. diamond...

Beast of a Blade: Boker Plus Thicker Clipper Review
  As someone who has carried a knife with him since he was a kid, I have always struggled with the limitations of some knives. I recognize that knives are used for cutting and slicing. However, we’ve all got a bit of neanderthal in us, and sometimes you just want to chop and pry with a knife.   Recognizing that we’re all...
Exclusive Steel, Snappy Action: Microtech UTX-85 OTF Review
  I was 9 years old the first time I saw The Warriors. Admittedly, I was a bit young by today’s standards for that sort of film, but the early 1980s were a very different time. Not only was that movie my first look at (outlandishly Hollywood) inner-city turf wars, it was also the first time I remember seeing a switchblade....
Montana National Guard Investigates Alleged Unauthorized Blackhawk Helicopter Landing, Antler Theft
  Witnesses report a Montana Army National Guard UH-60L Blackhawk helicopter landed without prior notice on private property in the Crazy Mountains near Melville, Mont., on May 4, 2025. The crew reportedly collected elk antlers during the unauthorized landing, which triggered investigations by state wildlife officials and the National Guard, according to The Livingston Enterprise and other local news outlets.   Neighboring...
Sometimes Sequels Are Better: Big Idea Design’s Ti Pocket Knife II
  The world of knives continues to evolve and change to meet modern demands, inviting new designs and materials along the way. Perhaps coincidentally, a growing trend sees some great knives coming from brands that aren’t specifically knife manufacturers.   Where once customers only sought out and celebrated established knife brands, the industry now sees a movement toward brands that focus on...
Art Deco EDC Knife: CRKT ‘Blackout’ Mbombo Review
  I avoid using the phrase functional art in my knife reviews because its unspecific and potentially misleading. But I am hard-pressed to classify designer Darriel Caston’s knives any other way. Everything he churns out is as wonderful to look at as it is to use.   In 2024, CRKT released both the Minimal X and the limited-edition Mbombo, both based off...

The changes apply to areas in Alabama, California, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington.   According to the official release, the move adds or expands access at 16 national wildlife refuges and one national fish...
KUIU HD Mud Boots Handle Tough Terrain With Surprising Support
  When you’re covering serious miles in unpredictable terrain, your boots aren’t just footwear; they’re gear. And like any gear, they must perform, hold up over time, and keep you comfortable.   I wore the KUIU HD Mud Boots through an entire hunting season in Montana, putting them to the test across creeks, rocky ridgelines, deep snow, and muddy fields. After more...
Old West EDC With Modern Flair: Wheat State Cutlery ‘Peacemaker’ Review
  As I opened the box, I knew in an instant I was in for a treat. Nestled inside was a gorgeous leather zippered pouch. Lifting it out from the box, I saw a thin plastic bag with what looked to be stickers. Under that, I found a nifty coin embossed with Wheat State Cutlery’s logo.   Decorative bells and whistles like...
