I used my issued ALICE with external frame with an “upgraded” ilbe belt. I dont recommend it. Got a kifaru and now feel like im driving a cadillac.

Packing into northern New Mexico with about 85 lbs in the eberlestock dragonfly. That pack was tough as nails and did me good for a long time. Note my 15 lb big Agnes tent!! Haha

Badlands 2800. Great day pack, didn’t haul weight well. Got a whole goat out in one trip! Ha

I have a blacktail hunt scheduled for september and have an osprey pack. Do y'all think that will be sufficient for hauling out a deer or do I need to just bite the bullet and get a hunting pack?

Plenty sufficient as long as you don't mind stuffing meat into your bag. Never bothered me, just hose it out when you get home.

I packed almost all the elk I’ve killed with a pack like this, no hip belt and no padding on shoulder straps. Until a few years ago I had no idea there was a better way. Spent 20ish years doing it this way.

one particular trip I remember I got back to camp and couldn’t even get food out of the camper cupboard for myself because I couldnt lift my arms above my head.

i have a alpz outdoorz commander (not the x) if someone wants a shitty pack. Just pay shipping.

We need someone to do a “live hunt” with all crappy cheap equipment. May need censored, but I’m sure they can get it done haha.

A real shit show.View attachment 182400

hahaha i have that pack, it is a nighmare. No load lifters, frame digs into the shoulders and it weighs a ton.

REI XT85 backpack

used this for years until upgrading toa kifaru pack
If your packing 50 pounds or under for under an hour and a half it was actually a great pack.

First timer here. You asked for a JanSport here it is. Didn't get a harvest but handled 6 days of gear (~55lbs.) plenty well. Do I get bonus points or a deduction for the rainbow patches?

Cabelas minimalist frame pack that I bought for 2020 season. I packed out 2 bulls with this piece of junk. Making the switch to Exo!

 

[Michael54]

The real question should be "How many years in a row have you used a sh!%%y pack before you upgraded?" Seems the worse the pack the quicker the upgrade. Also if you used it for 5+ years can you truly consider if a bad pack?

Not a pic with an animal but I was cleaning out my shop yesterday and wanted to bring this thread back to life.

A real gem of a pack here! $100 to your door if you too would like a real hunting experience . That hip belt make we wince even today.

That's my pack!!! Same color even. I still have it.

Packed a bull out with backstraps and neck meat in the bag, head and horns strapped to the back and dragging both hinds behind. I have never been so exhausted in my life.

Back then that was considered a good pack.

Ouch... you earned that bull!
