Granted I'm a bit biased, but I carried out 4 loads this season.
- A bear cape from a good boar , not super far, but off trail and rugged probably 75 lbs , and 1.5 hrs mostly off trail
- 2 elk loads (one mine and one Owens) , not super heavy 60 - 75 lbs probably each was 1.5 hrs , mostly on good trails
- 1 Mule Deer , a bit over 90 lbs scale weighed , mostly off trail, ravines / brush / some 3rd class scrambling , 4 hrs and 15 minutes, probably ~6 miles . Difficult pack out . Only stopped for 5 minutes due to a slight slip and fall and deciding that was a good break time.
Took the pack bag off , threw it in the washer looks like new. It worked well for me , but then again it should.
Hope this helps.
