Ever since I went to sheep show I've been having a hell of a time we deciding between a nomad and emr II.
I really like versatility of the nomad and the endless number of configuarions available. I really liked the video where aron set the nomad up with a back pouch, gun cradle and long hunter lid. I could see myself using that exact setup quite a bit for day hunts. Unfortunately with my new job that is what I'm going to be stuck doing the most the next couple of years, while maybe throwing in a couple 7-9 day hunts for elk or mulies.
I also like the look of the emr II and the way it can compress into day pack mode. Also love the center zip access. The problem I'm having is that the nomad with a back pouch, long hunter lid and grab it weighs just about as much as the emr II. Trade the back pouch for a camp bag and you're slightly heavier.
Maybe you guys have some ideas or insights I'm missing.
