Hunting pack
gray brow:
Probably the most important feature to me about the Nimrod is that when you are hunting, it is just a moderately sized fanny pack. 1300 cubic inches (maxed out)that goes up to about the lower third of your back. Quiet manueverability through brush & trees is excellent.
Like some of the others, the real value is going in able to hunt comfortably and be able to come out loaded without any fuss.

I have the eberlestock x1 daypack and really like it. it has the rifle scabbard. too much of a pain in the ass to use it as much as i thought i would, but for hiking in and hiking out, it works great, just don't expect to pull any quick draw gunslinger type moves with a scoped rifle in it. i will be needing/wanting a new bigger hunting pack soon and will probably get a bigger eberlestock assuming there are more points on the outside of the pack to strap things to than there are on my little one...thats the only thing i don't like. i tried my bow using the ripcord feature thing and it's pretty slick as well.
the quality is definitely there in an eberle pack.

I dig Badlands. I have 2, one is a day pack I've had for 6 or 7 years, its been abused and trashed with no failures. Last year I bought a 2200 Badlands before my BC Caribou trip, it to has performed up to my expectations, and then some. The 2200 has an internal frame, the day pack doesn't.

I looked at them when I was shopping and one consideration I had was the fact that the eberlestock weighs in dry I believe at almost 9 pounds and the badlands is 3 1/2. For me I figured why start off 6 pounds heavier before I even put my $h!t in it.

mray...it is heavy for a little pack. i am definitely gonna be more considerate of weight when i look into the bigger pack. for a day pack, i wasn't too concerned. when i put all my crap in it along with the rifle in the scabbard, it weighs a ton anyway...seems like i have a contest with myself to see how heavy i can make my daypack. gets heavier every year.
