[QUOTE="Huntaholic, post: 4574866, member: 605"] I went to Colorado elk hunting in 1994. After killing an elk and seeing how the outfitter did it, I bought a cabelas Alaskan packframe before going back the following year. It is a better design that what the outfitter was using and Im still using it 24 years later! I added a backpack to the frame via the straps and buckles provided and it works well enough that this past year in Montana I carried a whole deboned mule deer out in one trip with it. Was I overloaded? ABSOLUTELY! I weigh 155lbs and Im almost certain I had close to that amount on my back coming out of that HELLHOLE! I couldn't stand up straight climbing out of there or I would have toppled over backwards. To rest I had to turn around and fall back into the mountain side, but I wasn't about to make that 1400 yard climb twice. Im sure it helps that Im a logger used to climbing hills lol. [/QUOTE]
