Well, I was searching for a good external frame pack, and had all but settled on one, when I happened to luck into a Kelty internal frame pack. The Bison 3300 to be exact.





It has a huge interior and is equipped with a bladder pouch.





These two lightweight rods are actually contoured and form quite nicely against your back.



The top "hood" portion of the pack has a zipper along the back side allowing for even more storage space.



On either side of the pack are two pockets, both large enough to accomodate a spotting scope or other miscellanious items.





Another nice feature, which according to Kelty is new for this year, are two clips which allow you to clip your binoculars directly to your pack, within easy reach.



Along the back side is a zipper allowing you to reach into the lower section of the pack and pull out whatever small gear you may need without unloading everything.



The waist strap also has another small pouch, perfect size for my GPS.



Along the very bottom of the pack is a small velcro pouch that contains an orange waterproof rain cover. The cover is attached to the pack via an elastic strap.







All in all I think I got a pretty sweet deal. I'll use it this fall and see just how well I like it. For a free pack, I really can't complain.

Thats not fair[&:][&:]

I want one

Nice Wash, i hope it works great and if you just feel like you need to give it away just pm me

good post, great pics, even better pack. (kelty good have used a better camo pattern, lets see, i pick...Realtree AP(G))

That is pretty sweet. I have been looking for a nice pack but haven't decided yet. How exactly did you get it?

It was another item returned to the store because it was "broken."

A strap had come unsewn.

Kelty didn't want to bother with a return.

Too Big..unless your putting your tree stand in there. I see no reason for a pack that big.. For free it's nice, but would sit in the basement unused like 4 or other packs.

Wash I have a whole garage full of those items. Stock up my friend

Nice pack and photos as well. It looks well made and appears to have plenty of storage.

Wash, take it outside and run it up against some brush and let me know how noisey it is. I have yet to find a decent pack that makes zero noise while walking through the brush. Wool may be my only real good choice for a pack.

nice pack; congrats. you could have cropped that pic so that we didn't have to see your butt.[:@]
