[Beastmode]

Will both the nomad and the EMR 2 be at the sheep show in Reno this year?

Yes

Not sure if I'll be able to fund one though... Might have to just stick with the highcamp and make a couple long pocket bat wings.

Did we get a price from Aron on this?

Justin and I did it this year with T1's. What would make the real difference with this pack I think is the three horizontal compression straps along with the extra CU's. Like I said this thing does look made for elk hunting

I beg to differ, its made for hunting via packraft

We do it every year (2 guys, 1 elk, one trip).

Aron and I did this back to back this year with his bull first then 3 miles back then my bull.

Boned out it is doable. I sure do like my blacktail though. 55 lbs of meat on a big buck!

Makes camp and meat pretty easy on one trip. Problem is it only feeds the family for about a month or two. :banghead:

I love my BT1 as it fits my hunting stlye perfectly and I wasn't at all interested in these new packs but you got my interest with the EMR II. I really like the 2 way centre zip, probably the only thing I would change about my BT1 if I could modify it. I also like the batwings for the spotter, tripod and water bladder. Great job on this pack and although I'm not in the market for a new bag if I do decide to upgrade, or just want to try something new, this will be the bag!

Merry Christmas ladies and gents!

... And I'm sold

Is there a divider above the sleeping bag area?

Does this require the new Grabit system?

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

Why did you have to go and put up videos? Now the choice is so much more difficult! Nomad or emr2

No divider, zipper goes almost to the bottom....not needed.

Old grab it works great.

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

Is there a bladder hanger/pouch inside the bag as well or just batwing slots?

 

[slim9300]

good lord, its like a drug. figured im happy with what ive got, now this!?

Exactly! I think I'll be ordering this bag next month. Pretty pumped to see it in person.

 

[slim9300]

its not what you take in, its coming out...
sometimes 2 trips just arent in the cards, thats how aron designs packs

Exactly. 1/2 a boned out elk and all my gear will fill this pack in a hurry. It fills my T1 that's for sure.

We do it every year (2 guys, 1 elk, one trip).

If you and your partner can carry the 120-150 lbs., this is the only way to go. Who wants to make two trips when one will get it done? I started doing this three seasons ago with my partner in MT (thanks to Aron's advice on the Kifaru pack and trekking poles) and won't ever go back to the 'old' way.

Don't you have the two removable horizontal compression straps for your T1? If not, they weigh nothing and cost like $20. I always keep them with the pack.
