Cheapest options load bearing pack

[S-3 ranch]

How big does the bag need to be? I have a alps commander frame/meat shelf. And a 5200 cabelas pack. Just sitting at the bottom of my one tote. I now have multiple MR packs and these don’t see daylight other then summer gear wash and air out.

4000+ sounds about right ?

@S-3 ranch sounds like these would work well for you and your needs. Don’t by in to all the hype, half these guys in this site have a 800 dollar pack and have never packed meat.

I used that frame for about 4 years. I've packed 4 bou and 2 moose with it. It worked.

I bought a stone glacier this year. It's not even close. The amount of weight I could carry, and so much further is night and day.

This is the correct answer to your question. Great pack and they are a dime a dozen used.

My oh my ! These packs are terrible expensive, $600-$800+ for a Kifaru

where can a guy shop for a pack that is more retired guy friendly , I would only use once every couple years up in the north west territory & Alaska

this I can’t afford https://kifaru.net/?s=Frame+

Buy used. Easy hauling meaning quality pack. Just like boots
