Looking for a good pack for tree stand hunting whitetails? Looking at the Badlands Super Day Pack.
 
I'm using the MR Treehouse 20 this year. I like it. Enough room for stuff. Strap layers to outside. Quiet and pretty well thought out.
 
I'm in the market for a new treestand pack myself and looking at the Badlands ATX series because of the removable waistbelt. My style of hunting it's just in the way.
 
The Superday is a very nice pack. I used it for several years before replacing it with a KUIU Venture 2300.
 
Kuiu has their new encounter pack that's made for carrying a stand and has some interesting features. May want to check into it. I've loved my kuiu day packs
 
I have a sitka cargo box and absolutely love it but I got a good deal on it, no way I’d give full price for it. A friend of mine just got the kuiu 2800 encounter pack. It was great, that’s what I’ll go with if I ever switch. Quieter material and zippers than there regular packs.
 
Not sure if you are looking for something to hunt all day with however if needing a nimble pack, check out the eberlestock bandit. Though not designed as a hunting specific pack, it does well at it. I like it because it's not too wide and I am forced to carry only what I need.

I like the MR treehouse. It's heavy and bulky, but I don't hike very far. I can stuff my outer layers and puffy inside it, plenty of room.
 
I have the MR treehouse and I wouldn’t buy it again personally. I hate the weird cardboard stuff that lines it to keep the boxy shape. Stuff is impossible to pull out of it if you jam it down into the pack (like clothing). I usually don’t like a ton of pockets but this thing has 1 accessible external pocket which again is a pain….

Not sure which size MR Treehouse you have but mine is the 20 and has 5 external pockets, 2 per side and a 1 on the back.

I liked the Kuiu layout on one I looked at a few years ago but the material was noisy. Maybe they've made some changes.
 
I'm in the market for one as well. I like the looks of the First Lite whitetail one, but I want something USA made, and I am assuming, like all other First Lite stuff, it is not.

16 - this one has elastic sleeves I’d hardly call pockets. Nothing stays in them if it isn’t big enough for the elastic to hug or if it’s strapped on.
 
I got this off Amazon for $16 this year...ended up grabbing another for my boys...really like, tons of room & pockets. Unfortunately sold out currently.

Hill People Gear Connor V2 has become my go to pack for just about everything. With the internal frame sheet it hauls up to 50lbs beltless pretty great and its way lower profile than the external frame packs.

What is loaded in there now? Considering this pack for a small saddle platform and 4 17" sticks.

Inside the pack is a couple outer layers, lineman belt, tree tether, kill kit, extra beanie, gloves, hardside hydration swig rig setup with 32oz nalgene and I think a grunt tube. As the season progresses I'll stuff more layers in there. Bibs will get rolled and strapped to the bottom of the pack. This pack just seems to swallow up anything I throw at it and carries weight way better than you would expect for such a small pack.
