Title: kelty cache hauler
Post by: huntinluva on August 31, 2010, 06:41:04 PM: Looked at this the other day at wholesaler's. Curious if anyone has it or has used it. I put it on empty and it was quite comfortable. Seemed like it could hold a hind quarter no problem. Any input?

I bought an Eberlestock which was more practical for what I was doing. The Kelty does have more comfortable shoulder and waist straps than the Eberlestock though.

I got one and am hauling dog food sacks around getting in condition. I like the load wiings- you don't have to an dELK quarter into a bag opening, just rest it on the shelf and secure. I'm going to tape down the adjustment pin rings once I get the sizing figured out- they rattle.

Wish I had a pic of the load I was hauling the year my son shot his bull, had to be 150 lbs, I didn't walk quite right for about two days after that. LOL It'll haul more than you can carry.
