Get a used pack on here from the classifieds, unless you can get a pro deal on a mystery ranch for that price. I’ve had sub $500 packs and they can’t hang with my EXO 5500.

Mystery ranch packs are around the $500 threshold. The Metcalf was just on a 25% off on gohunt

My Kuiu pack has handled 90+ pounds better than the Kifaru I had. They have sales fairly frequently or you can find one used for well under $500.
