How Big of a Pack for Daypack and Meat Hauling? Any Suggestions?

[TaperPin]

The best thing about the pop-up is the low profile ducking through thick brush when it’s folded up. I would use a pop up over my Exo while eastern deer hunting thick public land.

The popup is also great because it’s the realistic solution to how 80% of people use a hunting frame pack for a very reasonable price.

Do people carry meat much higher than the shoulders? Even the marketing photo shows the white game bag only contacting the pop up maybe an inch above the top of the shoulder straps. If the pop up in either photo were completely compressed wouldn’t it still carry ok? I’m not poo pooing the idea if users actually feel a benefit to extending the pop up, I just don’t see the benefit from the marketing pics.

It’s not about the height of the load, it’s about the upward tension on a load helps to carry better and more efficiently.

I can see stabilizing the load to be helpful. When I ruck I can get injured pretty easily if the load can move around a bit.

I'll carry around a garbage back and give my backpacking backpack a shot, and keep an eye out for some good deals on these MR bags.
