or should I say Reaper colors. first off I had a great hunt and never made it to the back country but I did pack 5 quarters out in my new pack. this is the way any new pack should be broke in. after packing elk the last couple years in a ........lets just say lesser pack and lots of pain and pressure on the top of my shoulders that transferred downward into the rest of my bones and body, the BT1 is outstanding. for the first time I had no unnecessary pain after packing. the pack did what is advertised. i'm not a big or muscular person but in decent shape. the load lifters actually work and kept the pressure off my shoulders. I felt some pressure on my collar bones but there is a difference between pressure and pain. I could have easily packed another animal out the same day I finished packing mine out. in recent years I've developed plantar fasciitis and with my previous pack believe me I felt it in my feet after packing several animals out. not this year. initially I did some minor adjustments so the pack fit me perfectly. my friends all said I was nuts for spending that kind of money on a pack but they have never packed an elk out on their backs. I would spend the money all over again in a heartbeat. the horizontal lashing straps really helped to secure the load. with the grab it there was no need to put the quarters inside the pack and I simply pulled the lid down over the top and synched tight the pack is a little bloody on the outside but non issue for me as I plan on getting plenty more on it. this pack was well thought out. I pulled what gear I had in the back pockets out and put them in the spotter pockets so the load would rest firmly against the frame without smashing the gear. I hope you all enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine. happy hunting and good luck.

You are having a great year! When do you have to head back to the beach?

I am not going back. The liberals can keep those islands. I'm home where I belong. You're gonna love the way your pack hauls meat. In fact I can say that you are part of the reason I bought mine.
