Backpack?
 

I'm going to be packing for 2 days and 2 nights in Oregons backcountry and want to know which pack to get. And I want to have an option of packing meat on a frame. I'm thinking either the Dwight Shuh or the Wilderness packs www.wildernesspacks.com now what do you think? Either supply information on the above packs or supply information on a pack you are happy or unhappy with that has a frame pack which can be made a packboard.

[/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.

RE: Backpack?
 

By the way ,what does a new one cost. I think I payed around $125 then.

Cabelas Alaskan Extreme or a badlands bud....thats the way to go

RE: Backpack?
 

Badlands are meant for guys to look cool Pat, I need a hunters pack that will pack out the meat.

Any more help appreciated!

RE: Backpack?
 

Haha...ok well if u say i "look cool" with mine than thanks....but my pack does an awesome job and if u dont own one than you can say they are only for "looking cool".......dont beleive everything you hear morgan...i know who told you they only "look cool".......

RE: Backpack?
 

I've used them Pat... Don't get me wrong... (i'm your cousin;)) so you should know i'm giving you a hard time. But i'm telling you they don't have a packboard for meat! And it's a pain in the ass to wash the material.

It was Dan, but I also know it to be true.

RE: Backpack?
 

Badlands all the way. I just bag the quarters and there is little to no cleanup. The quality is great and supereasy on the back and shoulders. I guess I just like to look cool to!;)

RE: Backpack?
 

LOL.... I'm exaturating of course.... I just want something thatis sturdy and packs allot of stuff. But then again you have your points. But badlands are friggin expensive!

RE: Backpack?
 

Might take a look at a Kifaru pack. http://kifaru.net/BACKPAKS.HTM
They are a bit expensive, but not really when you consider that it is custom made, has a lifetime warranty, and made to your physical requirements.

RE: Backpack?
 

Have you ever tried a pack from Blacks Creek.;) They have some good products. Not to mention the Canadian (2200 and opens out to 3850cubic inches)pack withinternal frame,in the John Horn series or the Shockey series with the external frame. Yes, Badlands is expensive. But check out Blacks Creek. See what you think.
