Haulbag
Dana Terraplane
Granite Gear ice pack
BD Bullet
ArcTeryx Muira 50
and some off-brand tiny little mtn biking hydration pack.
So 6, but 2 of those get 98% of the use...the Muira50 is my cragging pack, Bullet goes up routes or any random day hiking, gets tossed into the crashpad,etc.

Including haul bags? Way too many. 12-15 probably. Anyone need a new pack?

Quite a few...
Gregory Runout (1998)
Gregory Day (1998)
Gregory Denali Pro (2002)
Gregory Palisade ('99)
Arcteryx Khamsin 52 (2004)
MEC Mountain Fountain (2010)
MEC Exorcist (2010)
Serratus Genie (2004)
MEC Genie DSL (2010)
Sea to Summit UltraSil Daypack (2011)
Cold Cold World Chernobyl (2011)
All still structurally sound. A few hardly ever get used (Denali Pro, palisade, runout, khamsin) anymore. Right now the CCW, Sea to summit and MEC genie get 95% of the use.
Packs I have owned (but don't anymore)
Gregory Alpinisto (2002)
MEC TravelLight toploader
Serratus Alpinelite 85
Jansport Tahoma
Cilogear 40B
Cilogear 45
Cilogear 60
Cilogear 20
The only packs I've ever had fall apart were the Cilogear ones. I got rid of the 20 before it could.

As near as I can recall, I have 12. The oldest is a 1969 Camp Trails Skyline frame pack (modified with leather attachment points for ropes and crampons). The others have various vintages.
The one I no longer have, and whose loss I am still mourning, was a 1979 Chuck Roast crag pack with ski pockets. Muff Cheney modified this adding similar attachment points. It was stolen when I was working at the Ahwahnee Hotel in 1980. Man I loved that pack!
I don't know how many ice packs I have, but that number is considerable.

Now that you mention it, many.
3 fanny packs that I never use (freebies from my gym days).
Patagonia Messenger Bag for my bouldering junk that fits nice in my pad.
2 crag packs, an old beat up Lowe, and a nice Gregory.
BD Bullit pack.
Regular old day pack, North Face (i think).
Giant Gregory backpacking unit.
And as for duffels, 1 huge, 2 med., 1small.
And they all get used, if not for their intended purpose, for storage (for the other crap I don't use).

I have 7 packs that I use fairly regularly. This doesn't count my laptop messenger bag (Which I take car camping sometimes), or random duffle bags that I mostly use for storage or just schlepping gear
Arc-Teryx Bora (~80l)
North Face Base Camp duffle (~80l)
CiloGear Alpine pack (~40-60l expandable)
BD Stubby Haul Bag (~40l)
Saloman Ultra-light pack (~30l)
REI Stoke 19 daypack (~19l)
Mammut leaders pack/gear sling (~9l)
Having the right pack for a trip is pretty awesome. The Mammut leaders pack (I think it's a prototype, found at Gear-X in Vermont) is awesome. Double loop gear sling, can hold some snacks and a shell, super comfortable.
I use the REI Stoke as a leaders pack when I can rack on my harness.
The Saloman is great for day hikes, but have used on lead too.
The CiloGear is one of the best packs I've ever owned. Super well built, comfortable, versatile. I think this is a Version 2 - it's a few years old.
The Bora is the standard for giant, burly backpacking packs. It's heavy, but the padding makes up for it.

wtf are you folks doing with all these packs?
i have a montbell daypack for fast alpine, day ski trips, long rock routes, etc.
i have a cilogear alpine for, well, alpine and overnight.
and i have a fish atom smasher for cragging and hauling.
i have three retired ones-- a 1970s sacs millet 1800, a first gen wild things, and a hines-snowbridge. all three got used, patched, used, re-patched, and so on until the stress points wore out. they're no longer usable, even in emergencies. but they've been lots of places, so i drag them around everywhere. memento mori

I checked the garage and saw my old green Lowe refrigerator with the Fastex plastic external frame. Inside it was a Class V teardrop and a big YacPac (no frame or structure, it used biners on the shoulder straps). I've always liked my Dana Blaze and 90s era Gregory Alpinista. And that giant MountainSmith fannie pack. Thanks to my friends at BD I'm rocking the Octane and Speed 40 (and more). With other crag packs, hydration, fannie, and day packs, it's gotta add up to many.

I only count 18 here, but I need to look in storage to get an accurate total.
The best I have is a Mtn.Tools "Combination Grande" (Enchilada Grande, Whole Enchilada and Poquito Burrito)from the early 80's, still going strong.
