Started assembling gear for a hunt next month a little to late. Thought my Badlands ATX25 would work but now am having second thoughts.
A little about me. 72, 5'10, 200, back is curved, OK shape but not in condition to chase down sheep yet. The portion of the hunt I will be doing is for blacktail deer on Afognak Island so the pack will be carrying my day to day stuff which isn't to much. Maybe 5 - 8 pounds. The main duty for the pack will be if/when I kill a blacktail because then it will be carrying the boned out meat back to camp. This could be 35-45 pounds for one deer.
Was shopping for boots at Barneys and a Stone Glacier Solo 3600 caught my eye. One thing I didn't like about the pack was the lack of external pockets.
Thoughts? Any others I should consider?
Any models from KUIU to consider? Pro 3600?
They could save me $200-$300 over the SG
