Eberlestock Warhammer

[colockumelk]

I have the same dillema with optics right now too. I think Vortex is American as I am gonna get.

I'm not absolutely sure by your post, but you do know that Vortex optics aren't made in the USA right? 

Sorry I should have clarified. I know their stuff is made in Asia but their company is American owned.
I think unless I get a great deal on kifaru or kuiu, they are out of my price range.  Nimrod makes a great frame but they dont have a pack that interests me. I have wanted the crewcab by mystery ranch for sometime. So maybe I'll end up with that.

But again I love the warhammer concept. I have til April to decide.

Quick question. Does anyone own the mighty timberline? I like the new T2. Does it come with the meat hauled or do I have to buy it seperate.

[Karl Blanchard]

Nimrod makes the toughest gear out there hands down!  They are made right here in Washington also!  They have any kind of pack combination you could think of and hands down the best customer service I have ever delt with.  They stand by there products 110%.  You have seen my nimrod in action brother so whats not to like?  I say don't buy your wife anything since she hasn't hunted in like four years and burn some coin on an outragiously expensive pack!  Do it.........Do it.

My wife isn't getting a pack for a long time.  But when she needs one it'll probably be the X2.  I do like the nimrod pack frame but I don't like any of their packs.   I look at their packs all the time and they just don't do it for me.  I don't know how I could have the pack frame set up as a day pack and still haul meat out.  Also whatever pack I get will probably double as a meat hauler and as a bug out bag in my Apache.  So I also want it to be a military style like the Eberlestock or Mystery Ranch.  I like the function and design of the warhammer and the crew cab.  So it'll be between those.  Plus they offer a military discount

I sent Eberlestock an E-mail on where their packs are made.

My question to Eberlestock
Hello  I am wanting to know where your packs are made? I have an X2 and it says made in Vietnam on the tag, currently I am looking for a bigger pack so I have been looking at other packs of yours and have found that the tags do not say where their made, are all your packs made in Vietnam?
Thanks Jason

Eberlestocks reply
We have factories in California and Vietnam where we manufacture our products.  Most of our commercial products are made in the latter; in the backpack manufacturing industry (you will see this if you go look inside any high-end retail backpack), the best quality and reliability, bar none, comes out of Vietnam, and our operations there have allowed us to develop and manufacture some unprecedented and extraordinary products.

Pretty sure Dana would argue with him on that point.

[fillthefreezer]

they must use the factory in CA for military products to stay berry compliant

[colockumelk]

Thanks Jason. If they use the California plant to make their military packs that's good. Because the warhammer I want is the military style, so I can haul elk quarters and use it as a bug-out bag in the event I get shot down.

lets just worry about quarters of elk K bud 

[fillthefreezer]

im guessing you would have to order through DOD or something if their comment was "commercial products"

[wraithen]

Colockum, Stay out of bradleys! But you could buy the nimrod and have the pack made the way you want it there. They have some great sew shops that can do just about anything you want. And if you want a nice haircut without the attitude go to song's.

Dude were you at Drum? Were you in 2-10?  I am going to Aco and picking up a platoon on Tuesday. We don't have any aircraft they are all in reset but oh well it'll still beat HHC.  Oh annd guess who is getting the Mike model this spring. 

Will do 400. Ill do my best. Wouldn't want to leave my airconditioned cacoon and have to walk somewhere.

[wraithen]

I was in 2-10 for oef7 and oif9/11. I was with the warlords. A co and C co get along nicely. Nobody likes B co generally. You will not find a finer bunch of guys in a more inhospitable base. I also like that that division isn't in your face, its a relaxed professional deal. I thought you were an apache guy?!

[colockumelk]

I am PM sent.

fwiw i love my wilderness pack specialties

I have started to look at these pretty hard. Do you like them a lot? Did you get to pack meat with it. I really like the concept of the "handipack" design for hauling meat and strapping the gear over the top of the meat. I think the compact frame combo would be perfect for my wife and Dad. I am looking at the Bighorn combo. Are the harnesses adjustable on these packs? Anyways please if you could give me a rundown on them. Thanks.
