Upon showing it to my girlfriend she said I should paint the eyes of the skull red, and I did. Geez now I'm really a mall ninja.
These were at Walmart right? I went to my local Walmart and could not find them. I was not going to buy one but wanted to check one out.

It's on their site so you can probably check store stock. http://www.walmart.com/search/?query=sog%20ninja
This looks like the same pack I picked up at Wal-Mart two years ago, but mine is labelled as Fieldline Tactical and was about $10 cheaper. The hook-n-loop field on the front pocket is in a different place and the "skull field on mine is replaced with a name-tape field, however, everything else looks pretty close at least on the exterior. I suspect SOG just got paid to attached their name to a Wal-Mart made product. I will say that it is a very good pack. I've used mine for going into my third hunting season now and it has held up great. Quick run-down on it. It's comfortable. Nice, compact size, but with a lot of storage. If it is the same on the inside, it has a ton of little compartments which are awesome for keeping your gear organized. The largest pocket has a few small zip pockets that I keep a knit hat in one, a pair of gloves in another, an extra blaze vest. Also, the lower-front pocket has several subdivisions that are perfect for a first-aid kit, sharpener, folding knife, folding saw (compact), roll of electrical tape, batteries, pens and pencils. I usually put my box of ammo in the side pocket, it's large enough that even a box of 3" 12gauge shot shells fits. The small-upper front pocket carries my GPS when I don't need it on my hip. It has a really small pocket right by the carry handle on top and I just keep a boonie-hat rolled up in it. It has an H2O sleeve with some very nice hose ports on either side of top.
Does it have compound leverage?
Well I've finished trips with it, in short I'm very happy with the pack. It doesn't have a lot of pockets but that also maximize internal space. It also held up fine to some heavy downpour and kept my camera and stuff dry inside. The shoulder straps are quite wide, but it also make carrying heavier load like 4 liters of water easy on my shoulder. The bottle pouch doesn't have any drain holes, that was kinda strange consider even the main compartment has them. If any new SOG pack are as well designed and made as this I would not hesitant on getting one. Now I'm off to find some MOLLE compatible pouches to take advantage of all that webbing.
Sounds like it may be worth the $40 price tag after all What kind of attachments are you looking to get?
