I am sure you could. Or, you could use the long pocket/pod as a compression panel. The possibilities are endless with the Nomad and all of the available accessories.

Yep, you can do about anything you want regarding configruration on the Nomad.

Me and Colton spent about 3 hours shooting at the shop yesterday. Him and his wife are wonderful people. Had a great time shooting and shooting the $h!t with them.
Doh off topic back to the nomad trying out a mega pullout with a small ul pod on the bottom now.

Appreciate the kind words! SHTF enlightened me on arrow lube changed my life haha.

Thought I would share a photo. I got the PR-49 packraft loaded up for a little weekend hiking and floating. We don't have any cool mountains or glacial rivers around here but it is still nice to get out and on the water.

Thanks for the photos colonel. I've been too busy to load my pack up besides a quick fishing trip.

You gotta find something to do... from my house I have a 3-5 mile hike to either a park with a lake or upstream on the Kansas river. It's mostly flat and paved but hey, it's still effort to lug a 40#+ pack. Then it's all fun in the water for a bit before the trek home. We are already breaking 90° and stupid humidity so it works you to do it.

I got my Nomad about 2 weeks ago, I have done multiple hikes with it, usually 3-5 miles. Anyway, I fully loaded it with typical gear for a backpacking trip. I like it. I am currently looking at getting either a back pouch or medium pod, I was thinking of putting my sleeping bag and pad in it, or whatever else I may need. I picture this going in the space below the wings... I really just want something that will be the most versatile. I would appreciate any input from people who have used either or both.

I have a medium pod and run it below the wings. I put my sl5, sleeping pad, extra clothes, and jet boil in it. With it in place and the rest of the pack loaded the pod and wings dont interfere with each other. It works good so far in the very limited use I have put it through so far.

Nomad and accessories arrived. Looking forward to getting it going.

What are y'all using to keep it dry when it rains? A waterproof cover, or just spraying the $h!t out of it w a "scotch guard" type of a protection?

 

[mt100gr.]

I usually don't worry to much about my pack getting wet. Everything important is in dry bags. I do carry a lightweight rain cover from Eberlestock that will cover it all up if it pours. I also use it if I leave my pack outside the tent at night.

My Nomad finally shipped yesterday! Two days ahead of the original ship date! Can't wait to get it and break it in.

 

[William Munny]

Mine shipped on the exact estimated shipping date. Supposed to arrive tomorrow. If it does, I'm blowing off work in the afternoon.

Bumping this up thinking that there must be a bunch of Nomads that got bloody last fall. Let's see some pics of Nomads in action!

I packed out an antelope last year, worked well. I will find a photo and throw it up

In use on a Wyoming Muley hunt.

Here is a link, last 2 photos showed the full antelope quartered and on the Nomad for the trip back to the truck. I would have boned it out but it was only just over a mile to the truck so getting it back to cooler in quarters was easier...

Looks like the Nomad swallowed the whole pronghorn without even needing a grab it.

Here is mine on a scouting trip. (I was my using my Highcamp for the only occasion I had to pack meat so the Nomad missed out).

It has my spotter/tripod in the small pocket on the empty left wing which is compressed flat under the full right wing making a very compact pack. (And a possible political joke).
