I currently use my ULA Catalyst for most of my backpack hunts because it's just 3 pounds and will carry everything I ask it to, but you really can't hunt in brush with it. The Sitka and Eberlestock packs I've touched are very quiet, but have so many bells and whistles that they are 5-6+ pounds. Mystery Ranch is made of Cordura, so that is out. Has anybody found a minimalist pack made of quiet material? |

I picked up a kuiu icon 1850 because it's so light... there's no way I can bow hunt with that thing. It's terribly loud. I have an old horn hunter pack that is quiet, but it's pretty heavy. It can handle an elk quarter easily though, so I keep using it. |

Tagging along - I'm still using my old ruck sack from Iraq and I'd love to replace it in '17 with something less noisy. That rigid plastic is awful. |

I've been using a Badlands Superday for a while now, but it's defintely not the lightest thing, but I haven't found anything better as of yet. I really enjoy the built in pistol holster!! |

I have the Superday but am looking for something with greater capacity that I can take on a backcountry hunt. |
