I have found a new love for my NICE frame. I have added an HPG CM20 (I think that is the name) and a Pods8 load sling. functional and ready to haul when needed. There is no internal organization, but with some pull-outs that solves that. Just thought I would share to show some versatility of the NICE frame.



 
I like the idea. I am becoming quite fond if my mr crewcab. It was great for hauling turkey decoys last spring. A few day trips into whitetail season and I have sorted out how to load it best. Now I just need to fill it full of meat to test the hauling capability.
 
Everyone has their preference but I like the option of going between a taller haul frame and shorter more form fitting frame by tucking down the load lifter extensions on the NICE frame. Then there isn't a frame and load lifter straps well above my shoulders/behind my head most of the time but when called upon I can slide them up and its ready for serious hauling. I didn't bother putting them up carrying out an antelope the other day (I just stuffed it into my daypack for the 1.5mi walk) and was getting some top shoulder loading near the end, I'll be glad to have them if an elk hits the ground in a couple weeks. The frame flexibility does weigh a couple pounds more though, win some loose some. ;)

Hope you get to do some serious hauling this fall!
