I need to buy a new elk pack frame. Some good options out there for external frames with a bench and straps...
My strategy is to keep the pack frame in camp or truck and hunt with a daypack. After the first load, usually the tagged head carried by hand (i.e.: awkward) or jerry rigged to the daypack (again, awkward), retrieve the larger pack frame for hauling the quarters.
Before I buy a new pack frame... I'm interested if there are any options out there for a "one pack does all"... a tall order I know but just curious. Is there a day pack that can also haul meat?
my google-fu finds this one: http://outdoorz.alpsbrands.com/products/extreme/traverse-x
I like the way it looks but not seeing it in person I cant judge how well it would work?
I'm interested in all options
thanks in advance.
