Has anybody ever used anything made by Blacks Creek?

I've been searching for a larger pack since the one I currently use is pretty much "bite size."

Their Bone Collector 1.5 has really caught my eye. I think if I don't buy it soon myself, it will definatly get added to the holiday wish list

It's H20 compatible, wraps around the torso (which is a feature I really like on my current pack), and my favorite..It holds your bow. I've been wanting a pack that will hold my bow for a long time.

Whatchya think of it?

Yes I just bought the Western and love it. I have been using for 2 weeks and wishI would of bought onebefore. I can carry my bow and archery chair and everything I need. I put my quiver in the side pocket andworks great. I looked a long time to find the right pack for me and I'm very happy with it. It does have a life time on it. They are built very good and adjusts to fit the person. For the money you won't find a better pack then Blacks Creek.

The bone collector is a great pack also but the western from Jim Horn does all that the bone collector will do. Same kind of adjustments to fit each person. Take a look at the Western and if you get a Blacks Creek pack let so know how you like it.

I looked it up and yes they do. How is it as far as quaility? I don't need anything for carrying a blind, but I'm sure you can tell how well built, conveniant, etc...they are.

It's a solid pack. No complaints.

Are you sure it holds your bow ora freaking moose? That thing looks comfortable as all hell! Beats the crap out of my pack.
