I am starting to look for gear to make up an appropriate go bag. So I figure the first thing I need is a quality backpack. The reason I have settled on a backpack is because of the ease of carry. I may create a secondary duffle bag later, but for right now I need a backpack.

I am looking into different military bags because of they have been field tested. Can anyone direct me to some quality bags? Something you have used in the past? My requirements are for it to carry medical supplies, ammo, water, food, spare clothing, plant/insect guide, and other basic survival gear. Are there any things I may be overlooking in terms of importance? Like big pouch vs separate compartments? load bearing system? That kind of thing?
