  same pack.  You were looking at the bag and the frame  separately.  This is the T2 bag and duplex frame together, package deal.

Im not sure. According to aaron snyder from rokslide forums whos the sales rep Im pretty sure he said the plain timberline - line of bags, the frames are non removable and your stuck with that frame. Thats why the big difference in price. Can someone tell me either yay or nay on this? Hope your not stuck with just the one style frame with no univsersatility besides different pouches and accessories.

MAN!!!!!!  talk about an oh sh*t moment!  Really I don't think it would have been the end of the world.  They said it would have done everything I needed, the only downfall is not being able to switch packs and really heavy loads (like 100 lbs+) is where you see the difference.  Thought I was getting the deal of the century! You know what they say about assuming............ :chuckle:

I ended up getting the tenzing 6000 and I tell you what I couldn't be happier that thing is awesome. I put my 3 year old daughter in there the other night it was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to backcountry hunt.  :tup:

I just picked up the horn hunter full curl system.  It's a little bit on the heavier side (8.5 lbs). But it is built for hauling meat and hunting.  The thing I really like about it is that the smaller day pack comes off and attached to the frame for a day pack and you still have the frame for when you shoot something you can take a full load back.  Plus it was 270$.  And made in America.

I just picked up a Mystery Ranch Metcalf used in great condition. I've been eying them for 2 years. It's absolutely amazing. This weekend I hope to load it down with some weight and go hike some trails.

I just received my mystery ranch crew cab. Only taken it out on 2 hikes but ive put in 50lbs in weight in it and it carries very well. They are heavy and expensive but with having the nice frame that really lowers the price on future packs from them. I chose this pack because of its ability to expand to pack in and out and also shrink up for use as a daily hunting pack. Not a huge pack at 5000 cubic inch but Im only planning on 2-3 day hunts.

I would seriuosly consider the new kuiu ultra pack system.  I put it on my back at the salt lake show and that pack is amazingly light and comfortable.  Up until now ive had to always hike out to grab gamebags and pack boards to haul my elk out making an extra trip because my day pack was no where suitable for carrying gamebags and elk quarters.  There new pack weighs just over 3lbs.  Not only can I where it around all day hunting but also use to pack quarters out without giving it a second thought.  The frame itself is made of carbon fibre and is designed to actually have load lifters which has been a problem for some of the other high dollar pack companies.  Remember some of the other packs start out at 8 and 9 pounds.
