What’s your favorite pack

[tndave59]

I'm looking for a new pack and would like to see what y'all are recommending. I know it's a broad spectrum from $20 - hundreds of dollars. I sweat at the drop of a hat and typically walk in to hunt site in base layer and pack or carry everything else in, even in 20 degree temps.

A cheap one lol. Seriously, I personally like one that can be utilized as a backpack, or fanny pack or can be latched together and be used as both. I use the fanny for elk and turkey when I'm mobile. I use the backpack for deer and utilize both for carrying a lot of gear (bibs, outer jacket, etc...). I use small stretch cords to connect anything that won't fit in the pack. Brand names mean nothing to me for a pack

I've been using a Stone Glacier Avail for the last few years and really like it, but it's a little pricey. They make nice backpacks built to last and are light weight.

I just get the Magellan brand from Academy Sports, they have several sizes and are decently priced. I have about four of their packs all bought about three years ago and no issues with them.I am the same has you about sweating, i just run the straps of my pack through my treestand and connect and carry it all in together for deer hunting. Especially helpful for all day sits, I can carry water some peanut butter sandwiches calls etc. all in with my hands free minus gun/bow.

Badlands. Darn near bullet proof.

Magellan is good for the money

Badlands 2200

You've likely already gotten a pack since this thread was started a year ago. But anyhow, I'm going to contradict my earlier statement and go with the Badlands gear. It is some good stuff with a lifetime warranty. If you look in the Deals section on this site, you will find a thread with a 50% off code.

I've used a Badlands Treestand pack for the last 4 or 5 years. It has held up really well, and I like the organization.

The Magellan ones from Academy are great for the price point. I have been using the same couple for the past 3 years and have had no issues.

Badlands Eastern Day Pack. Wish it was a little bigger but keeps me from taking more stuff.

Cabela's Elite scout

Is this the one that's highly recommended?
It looks like they're on sale at Midway for a great price.

I was skeptical about it but for the price it has worked great

I'm like you......I walk in with just my base layer and carry my extra layers that I put-on or take-off as needed. I use a Badlands Diablo Dos. It's light but very roomy and capable of carrying a lot of weight if needed.

I got an Alps Outdoor (I think Commander was the model...) external frame pack for like $100 on Amazon. I got it for a backpack hunting trip out west. It did the job, but in hindsight I should've went with a nicer pack. I want to upgrade to a Mystery Ranch Beartooth, which I've found through Guidefitter for like $330.
Around these parts I have an old 5.11 Rush day pack that works for me. Usually I'd put my stand on my back, then throw the backpack on over the top of that. Depending on how cold it was I'd have coveralls or extra layers in it.
When turkey or small game hunting I have a mystery ranch Fanny pack that does the trick.

I was told by someone who knew not to buy a big pack or you would put too much that you don't need in it. I didn't listen.

Badlands diablo hands down!

 

[billyboy]

I've had a couple of Badlands packs for years. When it's really cold and need extra clothes, I have a Molle II Medium ruck that is very comfortable.

I just purchased a KUIU venture 1800 pack and so far I like it I have not carried anything heavy in it yet but like the way it fills

 

[WanderingNomad]

I have a basically new Badlands Super Day pack (its been in the field twice) that I'd part with for $150. Located in the Nashville area.

I needed a new pack this season and wanted one that would hold a bow/rifle. I have gone through 3 different packs from amazon so best advice I have is to save up and buy quality. Each one I sent back had a different issue. The first was ripping at seams sfter 5 hunts and was never overloaded. The second had mismatched buckles and the pouch to hold the bow/rifle would not attach to the pack buckle out of the box. The last one had failing zippers out of the box. I didn't want to spend $100+ for a pack but I think after these 3 experiences, quality gear will last longer and pay for itself over time.

I've been using a Badlands Pursuit for several years...it works perfect for me but the key selling point was that Badlands offers unconditional lifetime guarantee on their stuff.
