I used my AMR on a 5-day drop-camp hunt this season in daypack mode the whole time. I experienced no "flop." The bag was basically completely flat all week and worked perfectly.
I ended up packing a small load, probably 30 pounds or so, out roughly 14 miles. Way less than the AMR's capacity, and the load rode like it wasn't there. Very stable.
All that being said, I'm adding a Woodsman to my kit this Christmas. I'll have 2 bags, my AMR for long trips and family outings, and a Woodsman for 3 days or less. IMO they compliment each other perfectly and since the Woodsman weighs about a pound less, I think it's worth have both options.
Thanks for the input. I was hoping to get one bag that would cover me across a wide range of situations, which I think the AMR will do. But maybe I'll get a woodsman a little further down the road. Between the two, I should have all situations covered.
