By the way that's not me in the pic it is from one of the camera men from the show best of the West.
He shared it over on rockslide when I brought this episode up

I've never owned a real pack, I always have just strapped s waterproof bag to a plain pack frame. Way cheaper and works fine for me but kind of annoying only having the one pocket.

Ive used the ultra 3000 for years. Could get by with 1800 and save a few ounces but with spotting scope, binos, tripod, sandwich, raingear, puffy, kill kit, snacks, water, take off jacket it gets pretty tight in the 1800 when coming out or packing meat.  Plus can do an overnight with the 3000. But on sale you can grab a bag for $70 so no biggie either way.

You hunt with a pack frame on?  I would get a $29 field line day pack and try that with and without frame. Straps loop right over your frame tops.  On sale can get for half price even - $15 and Ive seen em hold 80#

I like having my bag waterproof, something to consider though. Didn't really ever think about finding a cheap bag like that.

The fieldlines I used were even waterproof - a plus over my high-end bags.  My brother and I packed a boned elk out last year - me with a kuiu he with a fieldline.  I said you should get one of these - he said why this is working fine.
