If your tuff enough to pack two rears in those bags, you don't need to be smart enough to realize it's a bad idea.

We used to do a workout where we would do a mile as fast as possible with #135 you could use any weight in they gym in any combination to get it there, granted we didn't have a pack frame option. The best way found was to use chains and a caribiner to get one #72 kettlebell on your chest and one on your back. As long as you could stride pretty smoothly they didn't bounce/swing around bad.

I mean hey I'll keep my pack but the logic is not totally flawed. Just sayin.

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

Seriously? Besides the fact it has to be painful. The last thing I would want is not being able to see the ground in front of me with such a heavy load. So you carry all your animal out with this thing. Then what? You hike all the way back in to retrieve your backpack??

For a small load on flat ground more power to you..otherwise I want to watch someone do this on a mountain in my neck of the woods it would be very entertaining.

Good point. "I could pack this elk out in one trip if only I didn't have to deal with this stupid backpack" ;)

No joke. I can't imagine trying to get down a snowy hillside, even a moderate one, with one of those on.

Worst part about this is I can imagine my dad seeing this and thinking this idea is the best thing since sliced bread

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

No doubt. Last year, I was packing out two elk with my buddies. I was coming out on a different ridge and ended up taking the wrong trail. I knew where I was. I wasn't misplaced or lost. It headed right where I wanted to go. It just didn't take me there in the way the trail 500 yards on the other side of the ridge would have. It sucked me into a blowdown that made me laugh 'cause I, pretty much, wanted to cry.

I think that crawling over, under, around and through that satanic jenga blowdown trying to pull a quarter against my chest to see where I was trying to thread my feet...I would've cried. And one of the rock falls would've claimed an ankle.
