Backpack - Has Anyone Tried this Large $59 Model?

Sorry if this the wrong place to post this question but, as far as I can tell, it's the most appropriate.

Has anyone used the following backpack to carry LF gear and, if so, what mods did you make to separate camera from lenses, filters, meter(s), etc.?

I have a Chamonix 045N-1, extension rail, bag bellows, six lenses on Technika style boards (all small-ish lenses), spot meter, 6x12cm RF holder, several 4" gel filters, etc. I'll probably never shoot 4x5 but, if I do, I'll only carry a couple of Grafmatics.

No one here has used this backpack?

With the amount of active members here, and the endless amount of different backpacks, you are really asking for the impossible here...

And this isn't even a "regular" backpack, the ones you would see in a "backpackers" shop for tourists and hikers.

Hi Mike,

I looked at your link and found the pack interesting, but I wonder if it is up to task for protecting equipment. At the price I have to wonder.

Having said that I have in the past used standard camping packs to handle really big view cameras, so it could work.

Thanks, Don. This will see fairly light use because I don't get out much. I'm hoping it'll work okay. I've been given some good advice on APUG regarding "real photo" packpacks and I might consider one but they're much pricier.
