First time Elk, Sawtooth Drop Camp, First Week Rifle, Pack Dilema

[snowranger]

Thank you all of the input and suggestions. I have ruled out the Badlands and can't justify spending the money on a Kifaru or EXO K3 since I have so much else to buy. While I understand buy once cry once mentality, I am not an elk hunter or multiday camper. SO, I have "settled" on the Pintler in Coyote (Black Ovis $300) or the Terraframe 50 in Deep Earth (Steep and Cheep $230). These seem like great deals for a Mystery Ranch pack that will fit my needs (and maybe more) and I don't think I can go wrong! Any opinions between the two? Thanks again in advance!

TTT Any thoughts on the Terraframe vs. Pintler? Does anyone know what fame the Terraframe uses? Looks to be lighter than the Pintler but a little more volume.

The terraframe uses 330d cordura vs the pintler using 500d so thats where a lot of the weight difference comes in. They both use the guide light MT frame. For my money id pick up the terraframe and use the extra money on whatever other gear you need.

Do you know if they used the Guide Light frame in the 2019 Terraframe?
