what was your backpack last season?

I finally drank the kool aid and picked up a new ultra light duplex and dt2 bag. I bounced from an eberlestock to a Kuiu icon 7200 and 1850 bag. While I liked the Kuiu setup it never fit quite right. So after much thought and talking to Aron Snyder as well as numerous guys on here I pulled the trigger. I initially ran an older guide lid that has since been changed out for a long hunter lid. Added a few pockets and I truly feel it's a nearly perfect setup for my needs.

I will probably get the argali bag or a timberline 1 and a few more pockets to try if I ever need more ci.

Eberlestock Blue Widow. Too heavy by today's standards but man I loved my Blue Widow. Soooo frickin versatile. Had to retire it for an exo 3500 for 2016.

noticed no one mentioned outdoorsman packs. Are they any good?

Last three seasons I've run a Kuiu Icon 5200 with no complaints.

Eberlestock Just One. Heavy but served my needs.

Timberline 2 on a duplex frame. built to my specs, has carried camp in,compressed to hunt pack, and then packed out meat and camp, in that order. 3 seasons in, i can say that pack is tougher than me.

HPG Ute. Great as a daypack and for hauling out elk quarters. I liked the ease of the zip top lid (vs my ku5200's drawstring top) for daypack use, and the compression system is greatness. Used the KU5200 for overnighters and meat hauling.
