Interesting pack, looks nice for those who want to hunt with their camp on their back. I'm sure it'll pack a high price as well!

I think it is supposed to be around $450.

Ill stick with my Kelty external frame, it only cost 300 and is probably a better pack although it not camo.
Is this their first attempt at an external frame pack?

looks nice, and you can be sure their warranty with be top notch

Had it in my hands down at the SCI show.Can't remember the price, but it looked to be a real good pack.

It looks like it will be a great pack, but personally I would want to give it a season before I ran out and bought one. Wait to see some reviews and let them tweak out some of the bugs that might develope. Of course I could be a little bias as this past fall my buddies brand new 4500 shit the bed on day 2 of a week long back pack hunt after a load of caribou meat, so I kinda have a bad taste in my mouth over badlands.

It would take a pretty serious pack to have me switch from the Barney.

Sorry to hijack, but what happened to the pack, I have a buddy looking at that pack.

There is a thin, hard piece of plastic(?) that wraps around inside the hip belt which is the support for the hip belt. This snapped in half rendering the hip belt useless.

Non Issues with a Barney :lol:

I think the whole idea about this pack is it is an external/internal pack. You can take about the external pack and put it in side pouches on the side of the pack. It can then be worn as an internal.
