I recently went to Cadence insoles from the DFP brand. Both of those have served me very well, I like them much better than some of the name brands, and they have a much lower cost.
I use the Gunslinger Corral rifle carrier on mine. I had a belt attachment made to hold the carrier and loop their top portion around the frame. It's more comfortable and keeps the barrel out of my line of sight.
Who's using this pack, and how do you like it? I am interested in seeing pics of the set ups as well. I now have some animals, so I am no longer worried about having a frame and a large pack. Thanks.

Mountain Ridge Gear and SoMo Mule both sell sawbuck saddles for donkeys. I'm using Mountain Ridge Gear, he uses biothane for the rigging which is a little easier to take care of than leather.
