Title: Badlands 2200 or...?
Post by: Bob33 on April 27, 2019, 07:08:34 PM: I'm looking for a day pack that has the capability of hauling an elk quarter.

The Badlands 2200 is one pack that I am ccurrently considering. If anything it's probably a bit larger and heavier than I would normally need, but too much is better than too little.

Are there other packs with similar capacity to look at?

That said for what its worth the BL 2200 is the only pack I have ever bought again or regretted selling. It just fills that niche for me, and I have gotten lots of use out of mine.

I've had 75 lb loads on mine (all I can handle anyway, I'm a bit worthless in that respect). Don't get the BL hydration pack, that gave out on me in 1 season.

It’s capacity is very similar to the 2200 but has the hypervent to take the pack off your back and keep your back breathing. I have one and love it
