Just would like to know what you guys think of this pack:

Or if you are not familiar with the pack what would you recomend for a pack.
-would prefer a pack that is in the $200 price range, and can carry around 100 pounds as comfortably as you can carry 100 pounds. ;) Thank you for the help..

i have no experience with that pack but i would try and find a freighter frame. i bought mine from a garage sale for five bucks and i've had some big loads in it. i find it comfortable but never used an internal frame MR because they are way outside of my price range. my pack gets the job done though. the type of pack i have has been used by my dad before me and he has packed a lot of game out with it. just remember you will need a lot of training to be able to pack 100 pounds out. how old are you?? you dont want to overload yourself at a young age and hurt yourself. always keep that in mind. i think my pack is called a "camp trails".

this is a great pack, and I bet he's negotiable.

I have two freighter frames and the camp trails omega bag that went with them. there is always a frame in my truck for packing stuff out.

Mystery Ranch, Kifaru or Eberlstock the pack you are linking to is crap. You would be better off with an old school aluminum frame pack (camp trail)which can usualy be found in yard sales for under $20. Got two from the local dump for free last year.

I have the original Coleman Peak 1 Dwight Shue pack,its very similar to the one pictured other than the frame is stiffer than the new version,the original one great pack with a very durable nylon frame,I used mine for years as a day pack,the fleece material is also very quiet when hiking.
I don't think you would want more than about 50lbs in it for any length of time,the new frame is channeled and seemed to flex quite a bit when I put some pressure on it.Unless they made some changes to the frame in the last year there are better options for the money.

I have the badlands 2800 and it has been great so far. This was my first season with it. little on the pricey side but it seems very well built.

Had a camp trail freighter pack and sold it. Never should have done that. Have a Ebelestock and really like the pack, but to carry heavy loads the frame packs are the way to go. To go trek thru the bush all day and be able to carry something out, ebelestock , badlands or Cadillac Mystery Ranch "SORTA" do the OK in both situations. Something like a dual sport bike, the worst of both worlds and you get what you pay for. Just my 2 bits.
