I will get the exact model when I get home. It is a Jansport ????
Problem with the tent in the top area is that it looks sloppy and seems
to get caught on trees and bushes a lot more than mine does. It also
seems to get top heavy or unbalanced much easier than the external frame
packs.

I think part of the problem is that the pack itself may be to big for
him but that is not the issue. The issue is that I could not figure out
how I would set this thing up for me.

The rest of the problem is that we (troop adults) have not yet learned
how to set one up properly and are therefore all watching each other and
not wanting to admit we are lost. After all, we must have over 1,500
nights of camping between us..... some things take a lot of courage to
ask your friends about<grin>.
