TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present disclosure relates to a carrier or carrying bag and, more particularly relates to a backpack carrier with multiple internal compartments and article receptacles. BACKGROUND [0002] Backpacks are widely used and accepted for carrying loads of articles, such as everything from student's books to military equipment and supplies. Backpacks have evolved over the years from a simple bag with two shoulder straps to more sophisticated systems for better article organization. In many designs, the backpacks have multiple compartments or chambers for receiving articles, which can be sorted by one article type per compartment. [0003] Backpacks and other cargo carrying bags are used by the military and other peace keeping forces (e.g., police) to organize, store and carry various articles. The articles within a pack can be sorted and organized depending on the intended situation of use for the pack. For example, for a rescue operation, the pack could have ropes, cables, jacks, and a first aid kit. For a stake-out, the pack could have night vision equipment such as goggles and electronic surveillance equipment. For a riot, the pack could have a riot baton, mace, and/or body armor. [0004] There is always a desire for improved backpack designs. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [0005] The present invention provides a carrying system that has a backpack having a plurality of compartments for receiving and holding articles. Positioned between the compartments are pages, which are removable and replaceable from the interior of the backpack. The pages include receiver elements to secure articles to the pages. The receiver elements can be specifically configured, e.g., size and shape, to retain specific items. The backpack of the present invention can be combined with a second pack, a third pack, or more, which would form a larger carrying system. Additionally or alternatively, the backpack can be combined with auxiliary bags or packs, which may be configured for storing and carrying other specific item. [0006] In one particular aspect, the inventive pack system includes a base pack having a body having an inside surface and an outer surface, the inside surface defining an interior volume, and at least one page having a top and a bottom, the page removably connected to the inside surface at its top and its bottom, the page having at least one receiver element thereon configured for retaining an item to the page. The pack may have at least two pages having a top and a bottom, the pages removably connected to the inside surface at their top and their bottom, and the pages having at least one receiver element thereon. The receiver elements may be elastic. The base pack may include a back-mounting support system, a handle, or both. [0007] The system could include a second pack attached to the first pack. The second pack could have a body having an inside surface and an outer surface, the inside surface defining an interior volume, and at least one page having a top and a bottom, the page removably connected to the inside surface at its top and its bottom, with the page having at least one receiver element thereon configured for retaining an item to the page. The second pack could have at least two pages having a top and a bottom, the pages removably connected to the inside surface at their top and their bottom, and the pages having at least one receiver element thereon. [0008] In another particular aspect, the inventive pack system has a base pack and a second pack removably connected to the base pack. The base pack has a body having an inside surface and an outer surface, the inside surface defining an interior volume, and at least one page having a top and a bottom, the page removably connected to the inside surface at its top and its bottom, with the page having at least one receiver element thereon configured for retaining an item to the page. The second pack has a body having an inside surface and an outer surface, the inside surface defining an interior volume, and at least one page having a top and a bottom, the page removably connected to the inside surface at its top and its bottom, with the page having at least one receiver element thereon configured for retaining an item to the page. The pack system could additionally include a third pack removably connected to one or both of the base pack and the second pack. [0009] These and various other features which characterize the system and backpacks of this disclosure are pointed out with particularity in the attached claims. For a better understanding of the packs of the disclosure, their advantages, their use and objectives obtained by their use, reference should be made to the drawings and to the accompanying description, in which there is illustrated and described preferred embodiments of the invention of this disclosure.
