Yeah, you could fit two. I've carried two cases of beer without discomfort, but I wouldn't choose to carry that much weight on my back normally.

Jesus that thing looks about the same size as my internal frame backpacking pack and I've lived out of that thing for a week out in the bush.

Keep in mind you could still put stuff on top of the boxes if you were so inclined.

i did see that, i think that is the large pack. im just trying to figure out if it holds as much as my freight bag, which is needing to be replaced. so im looking for something that can fit 2 us postal bins on the outside using the straps and flap. also the stitching on the straps looks like it could use some reinforcement. i could just be too picky though, but having a strap break is not a pretty sight. they do look like nice comfortable bags.
