RE: pack frame
I just bought the Cabelas Alsakan Outfitter extreem.I have not used it yet but I'm very impressed with quality.I put my 10 year old dughter in it to test it(90 lbs).I can walk very comfortable with it loaded.
I used to use a Jansport frame to pack out and I can say they are a joke.
I would shy away from the 2200 badlands just due to it's size,but I realy like the badlands 4500.
Don't forget Elerstock either,they make some darn good packs(J-104 or J-105).
I bought a Hornhunter Mainbeam XL last year for a day pack,it has the capacity of 3000 ci,and also a meatshelf to pack 1/4 or a deer out.I never did get to use the pack on 1/4's.It is also a option for a day pack/meat pack.
