Local thrift store used backpack - $40.00 plus tax. No research involved. Worked great on recent mountain hunt in New Zealand. Happy hunting and good luck, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Kodiak Outdoor Adventures, Paul Chervenak. I drew a mountain goat tag in Unit 474 (Terrror Lake area) in about 6 attempts. No bear problems on our hunt.
