Just 3, a Berghaus 30l daysack, a Karrimor running pack and a 65l cheapy from GoOutdoors. Tend to use a fishing bag for dodging about.

Lastest purchase is an Alice Pack Frame, LC2, with a shelf, and straps included.
So I can strap anything on it. [Aka, Do it like Dick!]
A dead animal, boxes full of equipment, logs, 20litre jerry cans, full size spades, adzes, axes, chainsaws, etc etc, etc.

Ok, well I have a 35 litre Berghaus, the first modern sack I owned and was amazed by.
80s Lowe alpine in nylon. About 35 litres and was bought for three month trip in Thailand.
40 litre berghaus, little less modern, nicely minimalist.
40 litre berghaus made in uk, bright red and bit knapsack.
Pair of golites in medium and large, which are my main hiking sacks.
Karrimor omm style 30 litre.
Lightweight berghaus 40 litre or so. Yeah, two of those.
Couple of dakines, brace of jansport.
65 litre Karrimor doing duty carrying camp kitchen.
Maybe a couple more that don't really count...
(And we really aren't going to go into shoulders bags here.)
Crikey, not sure if that was therapeutic, cathartic or just got me thinking about the next one

Been doing one of my regular trawls of the forums and found this little gem. Seems my bag addiction isn't as bad as I thought! I shall be presenting these lists as evidence in my case to the missus as to why I need a new rucksack...
My bags in descending order of size:
Karrimor SF Predator 80-130...... By far my favourite pack. In fact, I need to write a review for it as there is hardly any information out there and it is great.
Berghaus BioFlex 65+10...... Great comfortable lightweight backpack but not hard wearing enough to take into the woods.
Lowe Alpine Sting
Karrimor SF Predator 45
PRI Bowman Radio Pack
Blacks 20L something
2x PLCE side pouches w/ yoke to make a rocket pak.
2x Karrimor Predator Side Panels
MOLLE II Sleep System Carrier...... Added a strap and use like a duffel bag
Canvas shoulder bag
Leather shoulder bag
Textile padded shoulder bag
Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack
MOLLE II Bumbag...... when worn below the predator 45 it takes some of the weight off the shoulders.
2x GSR Haversacks...... The guy on ebay threw them in with the Predator 45. never used them but the padding might make them good as a camera bag.
Really want to get the Mil Spec Monkey Adapt pack to replace the dying Blacks bag as I don't have anything else in the 20L range with good organisation. Unfortunately the postage from the states makes it rather expensive!

I too have a bag fetish...and I know I still haven't found THE bag yet!!
I have:
3 x PLCE bergans (2 x OG and 1 x DPM, all with side pouches to go)
2 x Berghaus Munros (one customised with 3 additional pouches, water bladder, etc
1 x Berghaus Arete
1 x POD Black Ice
1 x Mountain Equipment 55l
1 x Deuter 55 + 10l
1 x Alice pack
1 x Berghaus Cyclops in DPM
1 x Deuter guide 40l
1 x Lowe Alpine Guide 40l
1 x Exped Mountain Pro 40l
I think thats about it...but I haven't gone into how many fly fishing bags I have, nor the Snugpak response packs, game bags for shooting, rifle cases!!!! I think I need help!!!!
I am going to get a custom made one by the guys at 1157 Tactical as soon as I have some spare cash. I've seen some of their handywork in the past and it is bomber kit.

In no particular order and not counting bum bags, shoulder bags, cycle panniers, belt pouches etc:
5.11 Rush 24
5.11 Rush 72
KSF 45litre with side pouches
Bergans hunting pack approx 60l - comes with folding stool - very nice and lightweight pack
Duluth Rambler
Frost River Isle Royale
Frost Rivet Isle Royale Jr
Frost River Knapsack
Frost River Summit Pack - only bought so my lad can use the knapsack when we go on a bimble together!!
Had another 2 or 3 which I got rid of after acknowledging I had a problem ( the problem being not too many rucksacks but not enough room to store them).
in mitigation, I didn't pay full price for most of these - some secondhand, some on offer etc. just can't resist a bargain!!

LOL! I thought I was the only one squirreling bags away looking for JUST the right bag. I've got at least seven rucksacks in various sizes, together with pouches, bum-bags, and shoulder bags. And that's not counting the camera bags. So WHY do I find myself looking at ALICE packs, bergens, surplus LK35 bags etc. and going mmmmm, that would be useful?
