I’ve been testing the Nimrod Pack System since March. Nimrod has designed a system for the hunter who spends one-to-four days at at time in the backcountry. Their system is unique in that it allows you to add or take away various bags and accessories to fit your current trip needs.
I started with the Base Lumbar Pack (600 cubic inches) then added the Pinnacle Pack (1300 cubic inches) for a combination that made a great day pack. Now that I’m spending more time further in the backcountry, I’ve upgraded to the Guide Pack (2600 cubic inches) which combines with the Base and Pinnacle to make what Nimrod calls the Apex Pack System. Because you’re combining three bags, the usable space totals 3800 cubic inches. I’ve put three scouting trips on it so far and really like it. I’m really impressed with the comfort of the Apex Pack on my shoulder and hips.
Here’s a short video review from a recent scouting trip. I explain the system, how it goes together, and how I’m using it.
