I think you nailed it with the review. I'm a mobile treestand hunter and it just flat out works. Plenty of molle loops to attach extra compression straps which I use for extra clothing layers. That leaves all my interior space open for everything else I need to bring with me. The backpack straps can be tucked away or removed which is a plus since I'm attaching it to my stand for transport and not using them in any way. Great pack in my opinion.
I think I’m just an over packer but it does look a bit small for my hunting purposes. That being said, it looks like a perfect scouting backpack for sure.
Actually...the horizontal straps are a bit of a fail...they have it right on the 22...this way, whatever you strap to the bag has structure for a stable carry. You want to compress everything down.
Another great review Aaron! I have been interested in getting this pack for a little bit now. My question to you is will it carry the platform as well as 4 sticks(all from Latitude of course)? I know that the 22 would be better equipped for that but if I wanted to bring minimal items in my bag as well as my platform and sticks I was hoping this pack would work. Thanks!
It will certainly work to carry 4 sticks and a platform. The compression straps are pretty long so, could strap a lot of gear down on the back. The only downside is there is no waist belt to take the weight off your shoulders but if that is all you are carrying, it won't be that heavy.

Awesome to have feedback from a treestand hunter. I haven’t used a stand in a couple years but good to know I was on track with my assumptions.
Looks like you had some cool hunts this year. Seems like a sweet bag.
I had some awesome hunts! Still a couple to go before I hang up the bow for the year!

That’s totally fair. It’s all personal preference and what works best in your system.
Would love to see a video of your bow setup!
That’s a great idea for a future video!

That makes sense. For my purpose, I’d prefer not mashing my camera gear tho.
