Some nostalgia below, spent several excellent years with this organization.

Dana Design Prototype, was going to be called The Intrepid
One of a kind made by the man himself approx. 1991. Prototyped prior to Outdoor Retailer. While packing the Van Of The UnDead for OR I asked if this was to be included and he said, "Naa, take it hunting!" and so I did.
ArcFlex size large frame, Terraplane lid. IMHO, ArcFlex is the best system for transferring weight to your hips - ever. Bag has one main zipper, top loading, two lash panels, side and back webbing. Very little use, but has hauled out one bull elk and one big horn ram, before the load shelf was designed, when real men put bloody meat in pillow cases in the pack!
$650 shipped to your door, one of a kind!
Dana Design ArcFlex Alpine, size small, circa mid-90s. Likely never used. Still as the initial card stapled to the side webbing.
$200 tyd
Dana Design Big Sky day pack, size Large. Well used/abused and still works like day one. There was webbing on the main bag panel that connected near the bottom of the shovit pocket, this was cut off to allow scapula from bagged front quarters to settle to the bottom of the shovit pocket/main bag.
$70 tyd.
Dana Design Road Warrior duffel. Might be a prototype, but same as a production item. What differentiated it from other duffels at the time was eva foam padding on the longer sides and bottom and zippered end pockets. Also 'lined' of course to keep the foam in place. Photographers liked them for the padding, not sure how long they stayed in the line. Solid duffel that keeps its shape.
$120 tyd.
London Bridge/Combat Medical Mojo bag. Was used to hold tools, jumper cables, folding shovel, towing strap, safety blanket, etc. under my truck seat for years. Really tough bag w/loop panels inside, MOLLE outside for organization.
$120 tyd.
$950 tyd for everything and reserving the right to hold out a bit to see if someone's interested in the lot.
If you buy everything I'll throw in a Weaver Classic spotting scope, 15-40x60, decent glass, used for years to take deer, antelope and spot for prairie dogs. A good 'truck' spotter or for your kids or a spare. Note that there is a small chip on the edge of the ocular lens, is visible when you're looking through but it's more towards the edge of the image.
Also, if you buy everything I'll throw in a Toaks titanium 500ml mug, lid and carrying bag. You can fit a small fuel canister, ultralight mini camping stove, lighter and tubes of dehydrated coffee in the mug to keep you caffeinated on the trail.
