To be able to backpack one of the best MDs, would it
have to be customized? Don't own a MD yet.

You're right. Usually there is little reason to--but if someone were bicycling to a site--or riding on a moped or motorcycle to save on gas money, a backpack would be good...
There have been some sites this summer that I wish I could've taken my machine in a backpack--hiking a half a mile through dense woods and trying to hold a shovel and GPS unit too.

The brain and the coil fit in the pack and I let the two tubes stick out the top. I keep the zippers clozed by attaching a small carabiner in the zipper holes, this keeps the zippers from opening from the weight of the tubes. This is a standard size backpack also. I keep all my digging tools, water and food in the pack.
