I used one this year for hauling a stand and sticks. Wasn't as good as a frame pack but it worked. I'm considering a Pop Up 28 for stand hauling next year.
I used a Mystery Ranch Treehouse for run and gun public land hunting with a Lone Wolf hang on and sticks this year. It's great in the tree, lot's of room for packing layers and packs ok. Depending on how far you're packing, I'd look at the Pop Up 28 also. It won't be as nice in the tree but will...
Those who have experience with Sitka Stratus bibs, how is the fit? I've been to probably have a dozen stores and none of them have the size I'm looking for. I'm thinking a need a Large but with the way Sitka sizing is I may need an XL. I'm 6'0, 180 lbs for reference.
