I have several I use depending on what I am doing. But, the one that gets the most use is a cabelas "guide" model.
I know I will leave something out here. I have a check list somewhere.
2 water bottles
3 knives
knife sharpener
first aid kit with mole skin
2 compasses
rubber gloves
energy bars,hard candy
trash bags
game bags, baggies
2 or 3 fire starting devices (9 volt and steel wool, lighter,waterproof matches, mag stricker, flint and steel stricker) again depends
space blanket
ammo
flashlight and head lamp
packable rain pullover
waterproof maps
gerber 2 bladed bone/wood saw
baby wipes
tags
parachute cord
electrical tape
calls (depending on what I'm hunting)
glow sticks
extra gloves
extra socks
stocking cap
Normally it is all or any combination of the above, plus I'm sure there is more I have missed.

I use the badlands daypack and my dad has the badlands 2200. Of those two packs i would recomend the 2200 it is more slimline and is closer to your body this seems to help distribute weight better and its less likely to get caught on branches when walking through thick woods. The daypack has a little more room but its a little bulky for me. I agree with everything to have in your pack in the above posts but one thing that i have found very usefull that has not been mentioned is a jetboil stove. These are great stoves! have used mine many times while in the field and am glad i have it. It is pretty light, its compact, and it boils 2 cups of water in just a few minutes! hope this helped a little feel free to ask some questions.
GIVE EM THE SHAFT

Depends on my hike. If I go into some nasty country form dawn to dusk, it's different than when I walk say some familiar badlands. Water is #1. Always camera, couple plastic bags, knife, matches, binocks, couple apples, sandwich, couple bars.
When I go into unfamiliar nasty country [at least a couple times a year I love the adventure] I add extra water, extra bars, compass, lightweight blanket, hooded sweatshirt, adhesive tape, some extra cartridges. I think I'm forgetting something?
I don't know what my pack is called, I bought it from Gander Mountain a loooong time ago and it's nothing fancy. Think I'm due for a new one.
Congrats on the twins, great times. My kids are grown and gone on their own. We miss them but Lots more free time for Dad
