I picked up a Badlands 2200 from another forum member for $250. Haven't really loaded it up yet, but the fit so far is delightful, as is the functionality.

I got one this year too and have been very happy with it. A bit cheaper than the MR as well.Quote:

I used an external frame pack before the mystery ranch and they are the way to go in my mind.
I'm using the Vorn Deer (42L) pack: http://ca.vornequipment.com/vorn-dee...eltree-xtra-53 I like having the rifle carry on the pack so both my hands are free when I'm scrambling up the nasty terrain. I can have gun in hand and looking through the scope within 4 seconds still. Downside: no meat rack. The reality being 1% of the time I'm carrying meat, but I will have my rifle 100% of the time... Might be a bit tight for an overnight unless you go really light.
If you live near the lower mainland there is an endless supply of 60L arcteryx bags on craigslist for less than $200
I have a Camelbak very well built. And a camelbak water bladder only pack that has a strong shoulder strapping and rings for tying meat on
I have an eberlestock for long pack trips which has been great but you’re looking at $400 give or take. I also have a cabelas Alaskan guide pack frame and can honestly say it is just as comfy as my eberlestock. I’ve packed a ton of meat out on that thing with some loads exceeding 150lbs and never had an issue. I just strap my old backpack to the frame and fill it with whatever I need for the day. As mentioned they are about 120-150
I love my Mystery ranch.http://gshort.click/isna/1/o.png

60L is it gonna be enough for overnight gear AND for packing an animal out, unless the animal is a hare.Quote:
