[/align]I know the dwight shuh has held up well for me from caribou in the artic to moose in s.w, alaska to elk in idaho and montana . Always DIY and some times liveing out of it for days at a time. Not to mention the meat and stands carryed back home here in Pa.,I love my pack as you see ,I had it about 10years or so and never had a thing go wrong with it yet but it is showing its miles ,like the owner.
