I am Looking into different Hunting packs for the backcountry, Ya'll have any suggestions for a pack that I can hike in, quarter a deer and pack it back out with?
them packs can be expensive but i know they are well worth it.I got a cheap field line with an internal frame. It works pretty good if I debone everything. Looking at getting an alpz or a mystery ranch next year.
After an 8 hour pack to get my elk out this year, i will 100% have one for next year. My back is still hurtingthem packs can be expensive but i know they are well worth it.
I Definitely will bite the bullet and pay for a better pack like that. I remember what a pain a cheap ruck was on a 14 mile march LMAOI've got a Stone Glacier, external frame prior to the x-curve. It has a load shelf to pack meat without having to use you actual bag.
You can purchase other bags to swap out on your frame as well.
If possible try on a few packs and see how you like the fit.
Gear like this is going to cost some money.
* I started out hunting with my REi internal frame pack. It served the purpose but when I upgraded it changed my life. 100 lb pack outs suck a lot less now, lol.
I Believe it. A lot of the guys I served with would buy their own upgraded ruck frames to avoid the pain of those cheap Army Issue frames after the first few ruck marches. (if the unit allowed)After an 8 hour pack to get my elk out this year, i will 100% have one for next year. My back is still hurting
Amen to thatThe military is ridiculous when it comes to this stuff. They issue cheap gear and break your body, then spend tons of money fixing you for the rest of your life.
Nice! haha, I appreciate the offer and just might be in touch with you soon. The Snipers in my unit all preferred the Alice pack believe it or not. Alice Packs really ain't half bad in my opinionI have a Kelly that I loan out, ifyour close you can borrow it, I run kifaru, plan for the kill if you haul weight the frame will change your life. If you are young you have time and skin that will grow back. I started in old school Alice. The Kelly is bette than those. The kifaru is like losing your virginity every time. Awkward,hurts a little, but best you'll ever have.
