I have an atmos 50.

That said, my buddy helped me pack out a deer this weekend with his atmos 50 which he bought because he liked mine (for backpacking). I opted to take a bigger beefier Gregory Baltoro, which is where I would steer you for heavier loads.

Just have a pack frame ready to take out. Personally I just carry a hunting specific pack so I dont have to make an extra run for a pack frame. Although Im usually hunting a few miles from the truck.

Post by: Tbob on October 27, 2015, 01:26:27 PM: I have one as well. I think it's the big Atmos 75. I bought it for a 3 week trip to Europe about 3 years ago.. It's been on many many trips since.. A few long wilderness pack trips and multiethnic out of the country vaca's. I love this thing. Holds up very well. It's too big for a day pack, so I use my badlands super day for that, but for all other purposes I think they are hard to beat.
