have used this pack for 3 seasons now and am glad to own it. Half of our deer/elk camp have this and the other half use the badlands pack, both are excellent meat packers that hold up to the heavy loads. The rifle scabbard feature is what persuaded me to buy this one because of being able to use both hands on steep climbs.
I'm 6'3" with a long torso, and it fits me fine, but it's at the end of its' adjustments. For hunting mule deer, I put the duffle bag inside the pack. I take it out at my spike camp, and convert it to a day pack. When I get my deer, I bone it out, bag it and put it inside the pack; the duffle zips onto the back of the pack, and I'm out in one trip. (I don't take capes, just antlers for legal compliance) That is about the max, but for elk, one trip to drop the duffle, and a thirds of te meat, and another trip with the rest is pretty easy. Wouldn't consider another pack.
looks like a great pack only knock ive heard of the just one series has been that they dont fit longer torso heights over 20 inches well and the load lifters arnt very functional especially for loads over 45-50lbs for the longer torso people im 6'3 or 6'4 ish and weigh about 175-185lbs can you shed some light on this im torn between the j34 jp9 and mystery ranch crew cab thanks you and great vids ive really enjoyed the info thus far
also i wanted to add i want a pack to be able to haul a bow or gun and to use in wisconsin for packing out a whole deer weight dressed before quatering deboning etc would be approx 85-185lbs and also for pack trips out west for elk mule deer moose etc but will be using it in wisconsin 80% of the time thank you any info is appreciated and also if theres any other packs frames etc ud suggest im open to anything also looked at the cabelas extreme alaskan thanks

Awesome review thanks! Helped me make my decision...
Great pack. Only thing I wish it had was a zipper where the rifle goes

What are the loops for on the bottom of the pack?
To bad eberlestock packs are so heavy empty and they don’t stand behind the product.
this pak sucks as navy seals don use it
SEALs only use good stuff……..they would use this pack if it was "good"…..DEVGRU members receive a credit card to buy they personal gear
