That thing took a beating in AK and probably should pursue getting it replaced, but I packed out 180 pound thighs/quarters on it. Not estimated, I weighed them. I figured if any pack could handle that....... busted a couple ribbitts but...

I looked at them again Friday at the show in Portland I'm going to get one I'm just not sure which one. I'm thinking about the apex I think that's what its called. Its the pinnacle and guide pack combined.
The Apex is what I started with, great set up. Look into the pack frame also, most comfortable pack frame I've ever worn.

I don't see myself using the whole pack at once but its nice you can enter charge packs and use one that fits your needs that day.
I never use both bags at once. I use the one that makes the most sense for the hunt or the day. The versatility is unmatched. Being waterproof and quiet is real nice too.

If I would have bought it at the show last Friday when I was there it would have cost me about 330 bucks. If I duy it now its going to be over 400 with tax and shipping.
I believe the Yakima show is this weekend or maybe next. Perhaps you can still get the show price.

Perhaps their hunting packs are a lot better than the wildland fire packs I used from them seven or so years ago... but they were TERRIBLY uncomfortable, and it seemed it took the entire fire season to finally figure out a way to make all the straps and adjustments even sort of work to your benefit. Large, meduim, and small-bodied frames all gave them either a neutral or a thumbs down as far as our crew's concensus. Perhaps they have come a long ways... and I do enjoy supporting local companies.. :dunno:

They are day packs only, and a very comfortable pack frame. They don't make a pack for back country hunting. Thanks for the heads up on the fire gear, Hirshey, I was thinking about getting their setup for this season, guess I'll look around more. What fire web gear do you like?If I recall correctly the nargear groper air ops is the bees knees... Super comfy, nice water bottle holders, plenty of packing space, solid construction... The list goes on. They are made by an ex-jumper... I think they even make non-fire packs but I haven't seen them anywhere yet.
