New Pack!!! Wilderness packs of oregon

[carpsniperg2]

  I guess not to some but to me. Same life time warranty and rated higher for several hundred dollars less. I would say I am in love

I have never tried the other brand and just going by what there web site says.

P.S. Kifaru is not the gold standard for packability-or-comfort. An internal frame pack can never out perform a frame pack.

Not to threadjack, but there isn't a better pack out right now (Which is very subjective from user to user).  Barney's and Mystery Ranch are close but at a increase in weight and many people still claim the Kifaru is more comfortable with extreme weights.  I personally run a Dana Designs Terraframe (external pack which is a beast) but the new timberline series is the best thing going.  My hunting partner just picked up a timberline so I will be able to give a good comparison at the end of this hunting season.

Carp I'm gonna buy one of these for my Dad. Just not sure if I shoould get him the compact combo or the bighorn. Question how small does the pack cinch  down to? Small enough for a day pack? As fat as weight goes. Here's my take. I don't care if a pack weighs 2 or 3 lbs more. Whether its just got day pack stuff in, loaded with bivy gear or especially loaded with meat, you won't notice the extra 2 lbs or 3 lbs. I care about how well it handles the heavy loads. That's what you will notice more. How the pack handles loads, not the slight difference in starting weights of the packs.

Go ahead lash it out on my thread

My cousin bought just the pack frame for him and his hunting partner last year. They packed out 2 moose with theres and were packing loads 120+ pounds at times.

I also know about 5 other outfitters that use them and have probably put 100+ animals in theres over the last number of years. None have anything bad to say about these packs.

A couple of pounds will never hurt me.

As far as fit I have never tried the other pack on. I do not like the height on that pack posted. It really looks like it will catch on a lot of stuff where I hunt. I guess in a lot more open country you would not have to worry about it. I know me at 6'1 with that thing sticking up would not be able to go under mank snags

So just a question, how do you order? I don't see any prices on their site.

I hope you get to load that thing down heavy and test it out this year.

I am right there with you You hit the nail on the head. With the 120 pounds of sand and weights in the bottom of this pack it was very comfortable! When I pack large loads like hind quarters I try to get more weight up high to make it pack nicer and even things out. I tested this pack with all the weight in the very bottom. The thing is a beast! That is the nice thing about this pack the adjustments are huge! Where with the badlands and such you are fixed size when you zip it up. This pack has like 6 adjustments to shrink or expand the inside.

This is a top load as well and there is no zippers on the side to mess up. "you know when they spread apart from being to tight"

So just a question, how do you order? I don't see any prices on their site.

Call them at the number listed on the website they take phone orders and can give you all the prices as well.
"I wish they had them on the site" I will talk to them about that.

I hope you get to load that thing down heavy and test it out this year.

You know it buddy! Remember last year I took 13 big game animals myself alone! Plus I packed out around 20 others
There is no question it will get used and tested to the very max.

I just found they sent me a price list with my pack. It was in the box! LOL they Yukon pack frame combo is 449.00 187.00 less then the base timberline. which can go up to 732.00 with add on's.

I just had the wife take some photos for me This should help show everyone the ability of this pack to take monster loads! How about me standing fully inside of it? I am 6'1 260+ pounds right now. I could not even get my leg up to my knee in the badlands let alone stand in the entire pack! I am working on resizing them and emailing them off my phone. I will post in a sec. Oh and I have a size 13 foot and both fit with more then enough room in the bottom

[carpsniperg2]

Here you go boys to give you a idea what this pack can hold You would think I would be worried about ripping the pack by doing this right

ALSO I know a lot of you guys are going to give me crap about my night shorts A guy has to start someplace!
Camo booty was one of the first comapies that helped sponsor me! I promise this year its going to be mainly kings camo Probably not for bowfishing but for hunting Cant ever get that smell of carp out

Pictures! I am 6'1" 263lbs right now. Just so you have a size idea.

[KFhunter]

that is a monster load, I gotta say

[carpsniperg2]

Thats what: wait I will be good this once

[KFhunter]
