Eberlestock M1 Carrier or F1 Mainframe

[PAHuntinDad]

Can not make up my mind which frame to go with. Im 5'10" 190lbs. Looking for feedback or any insight from those who have used either of these, to help me make a decision. Will be using this for whitetail deer hunting mostly. Also I plan on rigging my opsrey poco child carrier to this frame to go on hikes. Thanks in advance.

Good buddy of mine uses the Mainframe for his mountain goat hunts. Drybag lashed to the frame and rifle jammed in between - zero complaints

I like my mainframe. At 5-10 depending on your torso length you should probably look at the tall version. It will give you more lift

I have the f1 mainframe and use it for deer hunting. I use it to carry our my ground blind, chairs, and pack, but it would do well carrying a stand and sticks also.

I have looked at the m1 as well, but I like the shelf on the f1, and if I was strapping a baby carrier to one of these, the f1 gives me a little more peace of mind.

I'm 5'10 and get decent use out of the "load lifters" but given the choice then, I probably would have opted for the tall version. Although there are a few mods for the regular f1 on this site to improve the load lifter functionality for taller or longer torso individuals.

Thanks for all of the input. I think I’m going to go with the F1
