You bought a DAY PACK that weighs 6.8 pounds EMPTY? 

 :sry:

Good lookin pack, I'm kinda thinkin you got ripped off.  Every pound counts.

My daypack weighs in at 2.8 pounds, is just a tad smaller that yours. The Badlands Diablo which appears to be quite comparable in size and features to what you have is only 2.8 pounds.

I wonder if that 6.8lbs is with a full H2O bladder? If not, thats a heavy pack empty, water weighs 8.35lbs per gallon..
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

My buddy has this pack.  On the opener of muzzy, we struggled to tie on meat bags for the pack out.  No room for a quarter either.  This sucked even more for me.  If you don't plan on packing out weight or tying rigging off it, it would probably be a pretty nice pack. :twocents:

Jim had those packs at the Elk calling class that I attended.  I looked it over pretty good, well built, more built for packing elk out than a day pack though. There were pretty spendy but you are buying a "Jim Horn Signature Series". :P   :dunno:

It isn't a Badlands bottom line. 8)

I'll admit, my day pack is not designed to carry meat out.

Well, if it seems heavy to me... I hope it's durable for you.

The canadien is a great pack. Had mine now for 2 years. Only downside is that it isn't water proof. Who cares about weight. It will only make you stronger. Blacks Creek packs are worth the money.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
