At first I thought that website was satire, but now I see that it likely isn't. Wow.

Ouch

I used a homemade version of this awhile back. All I can say is NO!

I could not imagine all that weight directly on your shoulders with a setup like that. Absolutely not!!

what in the world

WAY too much weight on the shoulders!!

These are light-weight bags that can easily fit inside your backpack which eliminates the need to make extra trips to camp for a cart or meat pack.

I would have to wonder if the creator of this product is familiar with the array of ultralight hunting packs on the market. I read the above statement and I think, "instead of putting one of these paperboy vests in your backpack, why not just put the meat in your backpack?" Seems simple and intuitive enough, right?

Also, the reviews seem to suggest that the users of this products have also never considered using a backpack for meat hauling.

I have been fortunate to have used these bags. They work great and make it a lot easier to pack game off the mountain. I am 52 years old and me and my buddy Chris packed out a bull elk 5x4 in one trip. It was a lot of weight but the bags make it very manageable. You can manage the weight in the front as well as in the back. It is a lot more stable than trying to pack a hind quarter on your shoulder. One at a time, one quarter in the front and one in the back and away you go. Love the product!

I smell some compressed disks in the lower back coming on....

LMAO.
"I am not sure of another product out there that would make carrying the hind quarters of an elk on your back possible. They fold up easily into your backpack and make packing out game a lot easier."

I don't know about everybody else, but when I'm packing out two quarters of a bull at the same time the only way I can stand up, is to put the pack on sitting down then roll to my knees and stand up. Can you imagine putting a quarter in the front and back of that thing then worming your head into the hole and trying to get to your feet. I'm cracking myself up just picturing it .

Check out the demo video. I'm telling you, Stone Glacier, Kifaru and Exo are all out of business. [video=youtube;m51XZacXpwc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m51XZacXpwc[/video]

I kinda like being able to see where my feet are going in steep terrain. I think that I'll just stick with my packs.

I had bags like those when I was a kid with a paper route. They sucked then for that to. If they werent ballanced and say you had more weight in the back they slid back and cut off your air as it tightened across your windpipe. Air isn't a big deal until you can't get any. If you had to much weight in the front it slid down and put a ton of pressure across the back of your neck. These bags look NOOOO better to me. Of course for 89 bucks and a short walk maybe an option. Alot cheaper than a kifaru or Exo if your only traveling short distances I guess.

I don't like hunting with a full size pack on my back so I carry one of these on my large lumbar pack: http://www.rhinopacksystems.com/rhino-take-down-pack-frame/ Sure beats making a meatless trip to camp to retrieve a pack.

I can't see the use in the paper boy setup, looks painful.

 

[wapitibob]

I was a paper boy 45 years ago. Those things suck.

You're doing it wrong... You're supposed to hunt the flat stuff with paved trails where there's nothing to trip over.

 

[neverquit]

All packs have been obsolete for quite some time.

I saw these at cabelas awhile back and thought, "Someone's gonna regret that." For 80 bucks you could find a military surplus frame and pack it out like someone without compressed disks...
