Mystery Ranch pack

[Doublelunger]

Mystery ranch is awesome.  The Metcalf is basically their flagship pack. I've been rocking the beartooth 80 for a couple years now and couldn't be happier. Tried out a exo 4800 and imo the beartooth is better.

For the squeak, you can take the packs and everything off the frame and put tape on the points that their is tension for the bag.

Great tip, I will try that.

I put leukotape on mine and it helped. Nothing worse then having to deal with a squeak on a long otherwise quiet hike

Im got the sawtooth 45 and my wife has the pop up 38. Love em. I wosh i would have gotten a bigger pack tho. Or that they wpuld,make a lid for the sawtooth. I will have to try the tape trick to fix the creek

Mystery ranch are nice packs for sure but I will say I grab my exo 4800 first just the comfort and the way the accessibility to the pockets and accessories is a little nicer to me

EXO needs to get their warranty dept figured out. 

A guy shouldn't have to wait 2 years and counting for a warranty dry bag replacement.

You need to talk directly to Mark at EXO and by pass there Warranty dept. He will get right on it

I have many emails to, and from Mark.  He is quick to respond, I have no complaints there. 

I believe the issue is a lack of extra dry bags to send out under warranty.  Just my assumption.

I have the sawtooth 45 works awesome as a day pack and could easily get a few days out of it. Also the meat hauling aspects are awesome

I've already spoke with Mark, I was trying to figure out the accessory lid strap for the optional lid on the 1800 bag.

I got super frustrated and started trying to yank the male buckle off because it was male to male...jokes withheld....and scavenge a female buckle off from somewhere else.

So just before I go all Hulk on this pack,  I thought hell w it it I'm calling EXO...

"Hi this is Mark, how can I help you?"

Right then I noticed that on the lid theres a male side and a female side....I felt like a real dork all I had to do was switch em around
   
"Hey Mark, ummm.  I just figured it out thanks so much for your help!"

Awkward pause...

"Hey, no problem!"

Bye


SO...EXO is not exactly hard to get in touch with

+1 on the Metcalf.  It is a tiny bit large for day hunting IMO.  It does cinch down pretty well, but I'd rather just have a separate day pack.

I have a pop up 28 and a bear tooth 80. Day pack and overnight.. the reason i run mystery ranch is the super quick easy meat pack.. and it’s huge

           I got the metcalf A couple years back. Works great for my day pack and has no problem packing out elk Quarters. I haven’t had a chance yet to get it up in the Alpine for a multiple day hunt,but hopefully I will get a chance to test it out this September!

I've run the Metcalf for a couple of years. I've lived out of it for up to seven nights, last day with a boned out mountain goat on overload. I like it.  I added a couple of hip pockets for snacks and at-hand items.  It's not super light, but comfortable.  Buddies also run Stone Glacier and Kuiu packs and like them, too.

Packs are just like boot, some fit just right!!

The quality of Mystery Ranch packs can't be doubted. They didn't get their reputation in the hunting, fire, and military communities by making packs that aren't worth the money. 

FWIW - I decided to sell my Sawtooth 45 in favor of the Terraframe 50, and I have zero regrets.  Same frame/suspension, but a more versatile pack design for my needs.

7 years and counting on mine. Had 80-145lbs in it hundred plus times.no issues

training is different than real world packing out animal weight.   Hundreds of times?  Smoke another bowl.
