Eric, I’ll be your editor on this one. The photos are much appreciated and really add to your Review.
My edits below are in standard BGT format:
EDIT (all caps) – required change
Edit (initial cap) – suggested change or request for clarification
Comment – just that, no change required
After revising you need to do two things. Post the html version of the Report in the Tests/Owner Reviews folder on BackpackGearTest.org, and post the plain text version here, with "Repost," the product name, and your name in the subject line, and with a tinyurl link to the html version in the body of your message.
Cheers, Richard Lyon
BGT Editor

### Backpacking Background: ###
EDIT: Could you add a sentence or two about your typical trip (length, location, etc) and style (Do you use a tent or hammock; what kind of food do you pack, etc). You've only used 77 words (limit is 100) and you need to give your readers a bit more information.
### spent a lot of time with a ruck sack and on my feet. ###
Edit: rucksack [one word]
### Manufacturer: Camelbak ###
EDIT: Camelbak Products, LLC [Here – and only here – you need the manufacturer's full legal name. You can usually find this on the manufacturer's copyright notice on its home page or on the "About Us" or "Contact Us" page.
### Manufacturer's Website: Camelbak ###
EDIT: Camelbak.com [The text should be the full web address of the home page.]
### FIELD USE ###
EDIT: Add some text about the conditions in which you used the bag – temperatures, weather, locations, and so forth. Ranges or approximations are OK.
### I've carried this bag almost daily as a get a get home bag or bug out bag and regular book bag for almost a year now. ###
EDIT: Delete the extra "a get"
EDIT: get-home [with a hyphen]
###Fully loaded out I'm carrying just under 45 lbs. ###
EDIT: 45 lb [BGT abbreviations are always singular.]
EDIT: 45 lb (20 kg) [Metric conversion required.]
### I stretch the adjustability of the harness to it's max. ###
EDIT: its max [no apostrophe]
### A top pocket on the lid and a velcro area on the front for any patches I want to put on. I also added some more velcro areas on the top of the lid. ###
EDIT: The owner of the trademark Velcro® jealously guards its rights. Unless Camelbak says somewhere that it uses Velcro, substitute "hook and loop." If it does, then Velcro, with a capital V – exactly as the trademark owner uses it.
### The layout of the pockets and the zippers do interrupt the flow of the webbing and really limits the size of the pouches and accessories that you can add.###
EDIT: First a question – do you mean "The layout of the pockets and the layout of the zippers" [layout of each], or "The zippers and the layout of the pockets" [one layout]? If the former, change "do interrupt" to "does interrupt;" if the latter, change "really limits" to "really limit." Need to agree your verbs as well as clarify.
### The seperate pocket for the Antidote bladder ###
EDIT: separate [spelling]
