My brother brought one on a bow hunt in montana this year .It was colapsable and had a v at the top to rest a gun or spotter on and weight nothing. I look at him and said why would you want to carry something alse. Well one day he handed it to me, half way up a montain and after a mile I didn't want to give it back. I was using it to pack heavy load of meat and it save me a few falls and soffened a few others. I did break the v off the top on one nasty slide I'll call it.{that short cut could have cost me dearly} I made a pine one to use but I like the adjustable one for going up and down hills. Any thoughts?
