Go-To Pack

[Abolt338]

I need a new hunting pack.  What do you guys use / prefer?

I prefer lightweight, frameless, and on the small side.

I have a badlands superday pack and I can honestly say that it is probably one of the best pieces of hunting equipment that I have.  It is frameless and is a great size for holding everything that you need.  It is small enough that it is not heavy but big enough that if you needed to you could pack out a quarter with it.

I own a Nimrod. Easily the most comfortable pack I have ever worn. I can't imagine wanting a different pack. Plus, they are made here in Washington.

Badlands, best pack I've even owned.  Besides you can't beat the warranty, unconditional repair or replacement.

So, I like the Badlands packs.  But I'm debating between the 2200 and the SuperDay.

Any thoughts...

I just bought the Badlands 2200 and I absolutely love it.  The functionality of it is just awesome and it will allow me to pack an animal out with the internal frame if need be.  I would just go try them on and see what fits you the best because each fits a little different.

X2 on Badlands. I have the 2200, great pack...tough as nails. Badlands has a great warrenty too. Go check it out at a sporting goods store and load it up (with permission) with stuff at the store the bat wing design is not for everyone.

I have a Superday and a 2200. My go to pack is ALWAYS the Superday!!!

One of my buddies got a Superday last season.  Very nice little pack with a ton of pockets for organization of gear.  I really like the looks of it.  Only one complaint, we hunted hard in the rain and everything got wet.

I just bought the Badlands 2200.  I was debating between that and the Superday.  I went with the 2200 for a couple reasons.  The first was I liked the ability to turn the pack to the front, fold down, and get inside without ever taking it off.  The second was the headrest.  Nice feature when you want to take a quick break from hiking all day.  Either way you go you can't go wrong.  Both packs have a ton of storage space and both feel great.  I can't wait to get mine out this season!!!

I have an Eberlestock "Just One" and have been happy with it, when I've used it, which hasn't been often. It's too much pack for most of the hunting I do but when I do need to carry a lot it works out great. I can carry out an entire boned out deer in it as well. The rifle scabbard sure comes in handy for those early morning hikes in the dark.

well i own a nimrod and love it.  they are made here in WA state and the people are all top notch.  i had the chance to talk briefly to a few of them at teh big horn show here in spokane this year.  my nimrods very flexible for a variety of applications and the quality is awesome!  lifetime warranty of all parts and workmanship i do believe.  anyways id recomend a nimrod to anyone. the pack is light and has alot of storage space and well thought out compartments.

Nimrod is actually based in my hometown (Cashmere), about 1.5 miles from my parent's house, and I still can't justify paying the extra money for one over a Badlands.  Plus, the Badlands warranty covers EVERYTHING, regardless of rhyme or reason.  Nimrod's covers workmanship, which is great, but if that pack starts to wear out over time, that's tough luck.
