mystery ranch terraframe packs
lucastaylor:
I was wondering if anyone has ever used a mystery ranch terraframe for hunting? They seem to have similar style frames as the Metcalf but I found one on REI.com for $200(50% off on sale). Its less than half the price of the Metcalf and just curious if it will handle in a similar fashion.

I have older Dana Designs Terraplane 80, which is the same bag, but different frame. It works well and did a lot of backpacking with it. It looks like the Terraframe 80 is no longer in stock but it still has the 65 and 50 3-zip (I think that was the one you were referring to). I didn't know that they featured the load carrying option!
I just bought a Mystery Ranch Glacier from Sierra Trading Post a couple seasons ago for $150...it does NOT have the load carrying option like the Terraframe. I wish it did.
I would recommend any of the Mystery Ranch packs, and I'm positive that it would work well for hunting.

I appreciate the feedback 444Marlin. I pulled the trigger on the 50 3 zip. Im excited tip see how it handles. In this world of $600 backpacks I have to make a few concessions.
444Marlin:
I was just looking at them on the Mystery Ranch website. Under the questions it states the 'Back Strap' accessory will work with it too- since it's the same Mt. Light Frame. I imagine you can get some of the other bags by themselves that would fit.
Now you got me thinking about getting one. It's a darn good deal!
yakimanoob:
It's a great deal for sure. From what I can tell, the Terraframe that's up at REI is the previous gen with the Guide Light frame -- the 2019+ packs on MR's website are on the new Guide Light MT frame.
I opted for the Sawtooth, but I can't say I'm not second-guessing my decision...
