SO silverton vs SG approach 2800

[Greatlakes]

I’m mainly a whitetail hunter but hunt solo and large parcels of public in Canada, so long hikes in with climbing sticks, saddle platform, stands etc and long packs out with meat if successful. I’ve been using a MR Pop Up 28 for about 5 years and it’s a great pack for stand/stick hauling but once loaded with a heavy load of meat, it seems to struggle.

So considering a new pack/frame combo that is capable of carrying sticks/stands in a load shelf as well handle heavier loads for the pack out. The two options I’ve decided on are the Seek Outside Revolution frame with the Silverton 2300 bag or the Stone Glacier x-curve frame with the Approach 2800 bag. Both seem like lightweight options that aren’t too bulky to bring in a tree with me for day hunts.

Two questions…will either of these packs be a significant difference from a pop up 28 as far as load carrying capabilities and comfort? And any personal experience with SO and SG to help decide between these two packs?

Thanks

I have no experience to answer your question, but I have observed that the Seek packs don't seem to have a lot of traction on Rokslide and I'm not sure why.
