Most of my hunting is day trips with an occasional 2-3 day stay so I wanted to stay on the small side for the pack but a meat shelf was a must have because all my game comes out on my back, the mountain Rambler seems to fit the bill, my only other choice would have been a cargo panel with some extra pockets, but I think the MR will work well, good luck with your decision!

I went with one of their new Duplex frames!
