I picked up the MR Popup 28. I've wanted a daypack that could pack weight, without pulling my shoulders off, that still felt like a daypack.

I've had a PU28 for two years. A very capable and versatile little pack. Hope you're as happy with yours as I am.

A big plus for me is that it meets airline restrictions for overhead carry on bags. That's how I get my boned and frozen antelope and deer meat home.

I'll admit, the ability to use it as a carry-on was a factor in choosing it. So, you can put your frozen meat in your carry-on and it isn't too heavy? Do you put bubble wrap or a liner in it to insulate it.

I line the pack with one of those grocery store freezer bags, and fill the pack with frozen bags of boned out meat. I can fit a whole antelope in there (about 35#), or most of a mule deer. What's left of the mule deer goes into my other personal item which fits under the seat, also lined with a freezer bag. If I can't fit the last little bit of stew/grind, I'll give it to somebody in camp. I've never seen a domestic flight check carry ons for weight. Hell, they hardly ever check for overall size, but the PU28 is well within the limit. Sometimes, if overhead space is tight, they'll ask you to gate check the pack, for which there is no charge.

So far, I've done this for two years. I return out of Rapid City, change in Dallas to Tampa and then, drive 1.5 hrs home. When I get home, the meat is still like a rock. I let it thaw in the fridge, than vacuum seal, label and refreeze.

Heck yeah that's awesome. I honestly never thought of that as an option. My carry- on gets the "random" search everytime I fly, so I guess that's why I have the mental block about it. I'll be trying it now though.

TSA and the airline carriers are fine with it. And it sure beats paying for another checked bag, which always has the chance of getting lost. This way, your meat is with you the whole time, and you won't get a call in two weeks to come down and pick up your bag of maggot infested fetid meat.

BTW, I don't even use any ice. And, dry ice is not allowed in an airline cabin.

If any body snagged some of the smaller edc MR bags they had some time ago like the street fight in particular they were 60$ maybe
And don't use it pm me.

I picked up the Popup 38. It looks like it will be perfect for my style of hunting. I hike and hunt allot more than I pack meat so this pack should fit the bill for me.
