Gday I've got a question regarding external frames that's always bugged me. Moreso now that im looking at getting a new pack.
Say you hike in 9 miles from any roads. Then off you go hunting and while glassing down into a gully during the early afternoon find a good sambar stag (imagine an elk bull if it helps). You drop down a little to get into a shooting position, line up, BANG he runs a little wobbles and falls ending up in some god forsaken nasty craggy spot way down in there. Then what?
Do you guys unclip your pack and leave it there so you can use the frame to haul meat and antler. If so what do you do about your gun, water, knives, headlamps, GPS and all those types of things if you just have a frame? And then do you pack all that meat back to camp and then come back to where you left the pack and hope everything is still there and intact?
Or do you keep it all together and just fill the pack with meat on the frame to have everything together in which case you're going to end up like i have in the past with blood all through everything requiring thorough cleaning back at home and smelly kit in the meantime? In which case you may as well just have an internal frame anyway?
Curious to know how people manage their loads after a successful hunt.
Cheers
