What about KELTY?

[Branden]

.

[bucklucky]

It just takes OLD Guys more trips ! Grin

[boneaddict]

Here is an old Kelty.  Its been retired

[Skyvalhunter]

So Bone if that Kelty is retired what did you get to replace it with?

[Coasthunterjay]

Yeah my dad baught a KELTY at sportsmanswhore house about 7 years ago and after about 10 elk, a couple bears, pleanty of deer and whatever else you could shove in the damn thing i think my dad is descided to go KELTY again.....great pack....

Im more of a lightweight person but i have been thinking about elk hunting and getting into a weekend pack or a larger day pack, But KELTY has impressed me, HIGHLY!!!!

And im not the richest person in the world, But wone thing i have been taught is that you need to depend on your gear 100%.....There should never be a question with the toold you use in the field, so you could say KELTY earned my respect......

Pretty ignorant on my part isn't it. Just like its ignorant for anybody who was not there to tell me that I did or did not pack out the elk.

And since you still are being a dick, which I bet you would not to my face, I am going to tell you what I really think. If it seriously took 3 guys 9 trips to pack out an elk then they are a bunch of pansies! I have never heard of that. 4-5 trips I can see, but come on 9?

Branden

Branden,
 At least you got one part of your statement right yes you are ignorant! And you don't retain the information you read very well either... it took us 3 trips to get my elk out ... my comparison to your story would have been 9 trips for one Pansie like the rest of us since we can't carry it all in one trip like you ... get it? 3x3 so 8 one way trips and a head = 9 if you were to do it by yourself.

And call me a dick if you like but you aren't doing yourself any favors here for trying to defend your original statement in fact you are very defensive towards me and I never called you out or said specifically that I thought you were BS ing! In none of my post do have to resort to name calling to get my point across I simply stated facts and now I am repeating your very own statements remember you started with the Pansy, dick & ignorant statements not me.
Sorry I'm a dick cause I don't think you can tell me how much something weighs by looking at a picture.
In fact that muley pack was weighed at the truck after I packed it over 3 miles and it was 78 pounds. Did you also consider that it's pretty ignorant to say your buddies had to weigh more cause it had more points? did you ever think about that if you cut a cape farther back it will weigh more? I've ruined capes in the past (ask tmike) and this one was cut at the ass! And I also had neck meat and scraps shoved in that pack and I never go without my 64 oz bladder of water and usually back that up with two 20oz bottles which will add weight.
 Are you gonna tell me that my butcher in Ellensburg was lying about the weight too? I know what it cost to process it. I Ended up with 148 one pound packages of burger 145 packages of steaks and Four 4 pound roasts. Even if i was conservative on small packages of steaks (which are not ...anyone who knows Scribner knows he doesn't do any of them small!) it would still be  250 pounds (probably got closer to 300) and not to mention I think you would probably bone it out better than a butcher and have more! We didn't bone it out so since you didn't ask I'll tell ya that they were probably heavier with bones in them ya think?

So I'll stand in line with all the others on this board and watch you put 250 pounds on your back and carry it out the mile and a half that I did over blow downs across creeks and up hills with my little weenie packs and when you do it I'll shake your hand and call you a tuff guy if that makes you feel better.

Look the topic isn't how you are a big strong Manley man and that everyone else is a pansy because we can't pack it out in one trip like Branden. All animals are different sizes and weights and I simply told the story of how the Badlands 2800 Worked for me along with the Cabelas Alaskan. And since I don't need to prove how tuff I am I'll let you ask my Buddies if I have ever been scared to call someone a dick to their face. If you are I'll let you know ...right now I would'nt say it yet but I do think you made a statement that offended the integrity of some fine men and now you are digging yourself a deeper hole by defending it rather than being a real man and apologizing.

Hey M-Ray, For what its worth I dont think your a Dick!
That guy is really pissin you off aint he!

[jackelope]

back on track, gang...

[Skyvalhunter]

M-Ray can I use you, T-mike and your pack to help me get an elk and pack it out this fall?

[M_ray]

Sorry Jakelope I do have a hard time backing down and yeah I'm a dick but I don't need some guy that doesn't know me calling me one at least he could do is meet me first 
promise I'll be good!
and thanks Bucklucky I know I just have a hard time not playing a little game with someone when I see that their panties are in a knot! 
Is this gonna be like the playgroung and now me and Branden are gonna be bestest friends?
Hey that's not a bad idea I am allways up for a good packer!

[M_ray]

M-Ray can I use you, T-mike and your pack to help me get an elk and pack it out this fall?

 

Sure would'nt you rather have Branden?  There I go again god I'm such a dick and just after I told jackelpoe I would be good ... ok I'll go stand in the corner for 5 minutes hang on!

[M_ray]

Skyvalhunter- Anytime as long as I'm not allready hunting and that goes for just about anyone else who needs help, I'm allways up for a good pack. I get that from a old friend of mine that I used to hunt with you could call that guy in the middle of the night (and I did) and he would get out of bed and come help you find your animal! Or he would be up for helping you get one. And he would do it for anybody so I guess I have allways wanted to be that way and return the favor. Plus even if I go to help someone else and it's not my tag I still really enjoy the opportunity to spend more days in the field.

Sure would'nt you rather have Branden?   There I go again god I'm such a dick

For what it is worth, I don't think this is worth calling names over, it is just a little disagreement afterall. M-Ray your not a dick !!

I took a look at a picture of Branden with a 4pt deer and judging by his size I don't think he could pack 2oolbs for 1ooyds even on flat ground, so whatever, maybe judging folks by photos isn't a good idea !!

And He seems like a hot head anyway so there is no place by my campfire for a person like that.

Shape up kid you got some growing up to do !!

[M_ray]

Thanks my thoughts exactly!
