    Pack on a budget

    Yeah, this is something I haven't been factoring in really. I have no idea the time it takes to debone meat on the ground by headlamp. I might be saving quite a bit of walking by packing meat out in one trip, but I'm not sure how much time I'd really be saving. Good point! I figured 40-60...

    Pack on a budget

    Thx! That is sweet; similar to what I'm doing now just a much nicer suspension system than Molle II. Question, do you just leave the belt and all the straps dangling while you hunt? Or do you cinch that down somehow to prevent straps blowing in the wind?

    Pack on a budget

    Thanks for this post! If I cannot find an effective way to simply pack out meat on my stand itself, which is my preference.....Then I am considering a frame-pack that I can: quickly, easily, without fiddling with tons of straps slide the stand between the frame and small pack for the pack-in...

    Pack on a budget

    ordered a handi-pak from wilderness; going to try to use that w my stand as the frame pack still. If that doesn't work, I'll attach it to my molle II large ruck-sack frame (which looks just like the frame sold by Wilderness).

    Stand as frame-pack

    Thanks, I was just thinking that might work fine! I could weave 20 ft of paracord around several meat bags positioned well on the stand. I need to give that a test run.

    Stand as frame-pack

    Exactly, I hunt in TN and AR private and public land. Our deer just aren't that heavy boned out. Secondly, I've only ever hunted w a small fanny pack and cargo pant pockets. That is more than enough for my gear; so I've been really trying to avoid the expense, extra weight, and hassle of a...

    Stand as frame-pack

    Yes! That is the video I saw a few weeks ago and immediately ordered the straps! That is the mod I was referring to that helps create a solid shelf. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to securely strap down a few bomb bags.

    Stand as frame-pack

    Sorry, I should have specified, I already have the MOLLE waist belt and shoulder straps w load lifters on my platform. I have it adjusted well and have been carrying my Wild Edge Step bag and fanny pack strapped to the back of the stand. I can't really tell anything is on my back most of the...

    Stand as frame-pack

    Hi All, Anyone using a stand like lwcg or xop and use the seat as a "shelf" to haul out game bags? I have an xop air raid that I have modified to achieve the shelf like the new lwcg stands. I'd like to strap boned out meat bags directly to the stand for the pack-out. Anyone experienced in...

    Small Pack Recommendation

    Hi All, Still new here, but I think this is the best sub-forum to get some recommendations. I've done lots of searches and still haven't quite found what I'm looking for. Starting to think maybe what it doesn't exist or I am asking too much of one pack. I only hunt in eastern woodlands...

    Pack on a budget

    First time poster, long-time reader on here! I've been researching seriously for a new hunting pack and I'm just not finding what I'm looking for in my budget. I think it must exist and I'm just missing it somehow. I'd like to spend less than $200. I'm a mobile tree-stand, public land...
