Re: Backpack + frame/Backpacking pup tent
I have a Mystery Ranch NICE frame with the Crewcab bag for day hunting and the Metcalf for overnight trips. This pack is rock solid and performs very well under a load. The NICE frame is a fair bit heavier than the guidelite, but I think it is more robust. Most of my hunting partners have mystery ranch packs.
As far as tents goes, I’m a fan of Luxe tents. I have two of them and they both serve me very well.
