Title: new pack advise.
Post by: viva_che1363 on May 13, 2014, 08:14:48 PM: i've been looking for a new pack for deer season, but on a pretty tight budget. i ran into this the other week at cabelas and was curious if anyone on here has used or heard anything good/bad about this pack. seems decent for the price on sale for 70-80$

love the stuff pouch on the outside. Very fast way to stuff a jacket when not in use.
