Ok, I have fallen in love for the second time in my life....Ok, third, but who's counting? [8D] The Badlands 2200 is........well.......amazing is about all I can say. There's not much it won't do. I'm still figuring it out, actually. (DWD, you here somewhere buddy???) It will carry your bow, rifle, shotgun, you can haul meat out with it, it's got more room than my closet, everything is very accessible, and is incredibly comfortable to wear.


There was some thought that went into this one. The zippers are very easy to grab, even with big, heavy gloves on. And there are quite a few of them, so it's a good thing.


It's "batwing" construction wraps all your goodies up nice and tight, and transfers the load to your hips, not your back. It has a pocket on the side designated for a spotting scope (which I don't have, but I'm SURE I can find something to put there), is hydration bladder compatible (which I wish I would have gotten, but I will) and even has an orange vest tucked neatly away all the way in the bottom of the thing ( I actually just found this tonight....Never knew it was there). I like that feature because it can be used as a bird vest to haul your gobbla out in the spring.

You can actually access the main compartment from the back. Simply slide the shoulder straps off, slide the pack around to your front, and voila. There you go. You no longer have to take your pack off to access your goodies. It's also incredibly comfortable.

I'll answer and post all the photos you want. I would rate this pack a perfect 10. Oh, and I forgot to mention the lifetime warranty. You could rip this thing on a barbed wire fence, and Badlands will fix it .......for free.[/align]
