Huntem,
Good review with lots of pics. Really shows a lot more than the website every would and thanks for that. The pack extending away from the frame to hold gear reminds me a lot of how MR does this with their NICE frame/longbow or crewcab except the MRs come in at a little less starting weight (6.5 pounds NICE frame/Longbow) which is 30% lighter than the Ox with its pack. Granted it is also 1100 cu in smaller.
However I really don't seeing this Ox as being a day hunting type of pack so it would be more fair perhaps to compare it to the NICE 6500s or the Kifaru 8500 monster. Both are built for hauling gear and meat out in the same load. Like I said its an interesting looking pack, but for purely meat hauling I think I'll stick with a Barney's freighter frame, its just not for me, glad you like it though I'm sure it'll serve ya well.
Just hope Badlands as figured out how to keep their zippers from busting. Thanks again for the review.
