Bow & stand hauling pack

[Yellowhammer66]

I am looking for a day pack to attach my bow and lone wolf climber for walking in. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am looking into the Eberlestock X2.

Also, please let me know if there is a better Rockslide forum for this topic. Thanks.

Kifaru Stryker or MR Crew Cab. No love here for Eberlestock.

Mystery Ranch Cabinet is worth checking out, it's the lighter version of the Crew Cab I believe

I second the Kifaru Stryker. I have strapped multiple awkward loads into it.Then I just drop the cam of my bow into the lower grab handle and secure one strap over it. Simple, secure and very effective.

The x2 is what I ran for years. It is built perfect for what you want it to do. The big problem with it is the fit sucks big time. When I started hunting elk I switched over to my kifaru light frame and fulcrum bag which can carry everything to include the kitchen sink comfortably. If your walking a long ways and bringing gear for all day sits any quality frame and pack built for elk hunting will work great. Like I said the x2 will work just not comfortably.

Check out the new Cargo Box from Sitka Gear! It was specifically designed for packing in stands!

Stryker hands down. This is loaded for an all day rut sit with extra layers in the main bag. Lone wolf assault and 4 cut down sticks. I can strap the bow on too if I want to.

Just attach a decent suspension on the treestand, it makes little sense to me to essentially duplicate the frame. Molle is an ok start and a common and easy mod, but you can go as deluxe as you want to get.
