Pack/ backpack to carry a folding long and edc etc.?

[mtn.goat]

Hey everyone, I definitely don’t spend enough time here researching gear and things. Looking for advice for a good brand and/ or links for a backpack for daily use etc. I would like one that is long enough to be able to stow a short folder twenty two cal. in, as well as full size edc, in an accessible front pocket(s). No idea if there’s anything like this out there but wanted to ask our community for brands/ models that work well etc.

Much appreciated, as I’m just going to start searching for options online to start.

Take a look at Badlands packs, they make one with a hip holster built into the waist band, easy access to your pistol.  I have a badlands, I like it , I attached a couple  of quick release buckles to use my bino harness on front side, easy to use, easy to remove.   I wrote to badlands about it, they said they were going to add buckles to the new ones, I dont know if they did or not.    Anyway, check em out

I went with a holster I can add to my pack belt and easily take off and put on my pants belt.  The problem with having one built into the pack is that I don't always have my pack on.

Go with EXO and dont look back - best pack out there IMO - can add accessory units as needed
K# and K4 are great packs - I prefer the 4800

I use a Mystery Ranch, Sawtooth.  holster on the belt and a sig Cross fits in the main compartment with about 2 inches sticking out the top.  For what its worth.

I’m curious on why specifically the 4800?  I’ve heard others recommend it too, and I’m set on an exo for my next pack.  But why the 4800 specifically?  I am leaning towards the 7200 for the extra space if/when I need it but wondering if I’m missing something with everyone loving the 4800/5000…?  Thanks!

The 7200 Im sure is a great pack , but the 4800/5000 just works perfect for my hunting style - it can pack more weight than most can carry. I have packed out parted whole deer and 125# of elk in it quite afew times

Got it, thanks.  Yeah, the K4 frame is rated heavier than I can carry in any config
