I've heard guys say that the Nomad is too complicated and they had to think too much with it, but it doesn't seem that way to me after a few uses. As long as you don't bury frequently needed items in the bottom of a tube pocket it's pretty easy to work with.I miss my nomad, went with an exo 5500 this year and FINALLY punched an elk tag. I got frustrated loading the exo with meat. Part of that was exhaustion and a learning curve, but the nomad would have been much simpler.

Yep! Stuff I use real regular goes in my lid! A little practice and it's all easier.
Torrey, I've used the nomad extensively and it is more versatile. That being said, I sold my nomad, and opted for a mountain warrior as I like just putting my shit in the bag. I used to use my nomad to haul 24 duck decoys, my shotgun, and my seat while walking into duck hunting spots in Idaho. Its great for carrying random things. If you're going to use it for whitetails, get the nomad. If its a strictly out west type pack, I'd say go with a big bag.
