Title: New pack
Post by: jdb on October 13, 2013, 07:35:27 PM: I'm thinking I want a new pack. I have used a crooked horn outfitters for years and its a great pack, but I think I need one the doubles as a pack board. So eberlestock or bad lands? Or??? Thanks!

The frame wraps under the pack for hauling meat, built in gun scabbard and bow bucket.

22oo is the most comfortable pack I've put on my back. Only complaint is I sweat like a pig on my back with it.

not very durable IMO. I have been very pleased with my eberlestock dragonfly I got last winter. been loaded up very heavy, maybe too heavy for me and it handled it great.

Post by: Dr. Death on October 21, 2013, 07:41:31 PM: I have a X2 with the Bow bucket and its great! Good for day or a few days if you have the right gear. But like JPhelps said its depends on what you are wanting...

You have to call. Im not sure what the price for the frame and the bag is because the frame was a gift from someone, but just the bag was $195 shipped. They are spendy but well worth it in my opinion. It is super comfortable and strong
