Well yeti hasn't killed Mystery Ranch yet.
Looks like the frame is the same, subtle changes to it.
Interesting colorways.
Pintler is gone, possibly?

I could have sworn I heard a while back that yeti will continue the Mystery Ranch line and move certain pack markets to the Yeti branded side. I thought i heard the hunting pack stuff stays with Mystery Ranch. Don't hold me to that though.

Cool.

Looks like they updated some of the panel loaders - beartooth and sawtooth - to the new frame and added some new colors. The site still shows the various metcalf sizes and the pintler is still there. Hope it stays. I am a big fan of that Tri zip design for access. I notice they dumped coyote color in a few packs and added a brighter green option called ponderosa along with a blue and grey mix. Looks like they are doing a lot of mixing and matching on the color schemes with contrasting panels and webbing.

Still hoping they keep the line intact and separate from yeti. Their packs are already kind of spendy for being made overseas. Slapping a yeti logo on them could double the price I guess.

I just picked up a Pintler to use as a hiking, few days pack. Plan to grab a lid for it.
