Need a new day pack meat hauler

[LCguy]

For the lightest setup, yet plenty capable of hauling 100-ish lb loads, I'd look at the Seek Outside Revolution frame w/ one of their day packs (20 or 38 liters)—dependant on how much capacity you need for your day hunts.

You can also keep frame extenders in the bag until needed, this gives you a slightly shorter pack until you need to lengthen it for heavy loads.

Second this. I use the Silverton on my revo frame. I also have a Goshawk for backpacking purposes. AS he stated, it is easy to change the frame height. I am pretty tall so I use the 2-inch stays normally and then switch to the 4-inch stays when it gets real heavy. Takes 3-5 minutes to switch out the stays.

Plus one for the seek outside revolution frame. I run it with just a talon and a load shelf on my super lightweight days. You can always add one of their bags if you need more capacity. I really like how light the base weight is, how comfortable the frame is to my body, and how well it carries weight. Highly recommend.

I had to build my own. The SG load shelf is the best I've seen so I added a custom day bag made by member Pods8 to their frame.

You might look at the Hill People Gear decker frame with a decker pocket. Or any of their pockets really.

IA with lid and meat paneer.

Seconded. Can't say enough good things about this setup. Carries the weight like nothing I've used before. With the lid, panier, and a hip belt pouch and water bottle pouch, I can carry everything I need for a full day in the field.

I use an Exo K3 3200 and love it. Compresses down small enough for a day pack, or can tote everything I need for a week in the wilderness. Carried 2 elk out with it and a couple deer. Handles loads better than my legs can.

My hunting spouse uses the Eberlestock Mainframe with just the 2 batwings. Elk quarters ride in between the batwings. It’s a slick setup.

Lots of options, as said already. Just gotta find the frame/belt that fits best.

Mod frame or Mainframe with a lid and single large batwing has been $$ for me.

I havent hauled any large loads because I just got it, but from a few overnight hunts Ive loved the mod frame and two batwings.

I've done quite a few miles and elk, mule deer, and sheep on a mainframe with two original batwing setup. Mainframe relegated to sandbag duty now but works like a champ.

Like I mentioned above - for day use I really like the simplicity, tidiness and lack of a gaggle of "spaghetti straps" using a single large batwing riding on the Mod frame's load sling and a lid.
