Hi Everyone

I've read a bunch of the posts on here from previous threads but figured I would start one anyway.

I'm on Van Isl and LOOOVE hunting. I have an older North Face Creston 75L that I've been using but I am going on some multi-day hunts this year and wondering if I should upgrade? Some of the stitching connecting the webbing is starting to break down, and while I think it would be fine for deer, anything heavier I would be worried of a critical failure.

I don't really understand how the elite hunting packs work. Are they a frame that can then be fit with multiple different bags and waist belts? I see some guys selling just bags on here, and some combos with bags and frames.

What would be a good entry level bag for 3-4 day long hunts to haul out deer, potentially elk and moose, sheep and goat? My kit is pretty complete at this point minus a solid hunting pack. I don't mind spending the money on quality -- most of my gear is quite nice and I take good care of it.

I'm 5'9" and about 150 lbs.

Thanks guys!
