People think there's a rigid class system here, but dukes have been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans.

So-called "hard core" hunting packs? Then why did literal junk -- like Kifaru and Mystery and Paradox -- become mentioned? Those are literal junk product that are only supported by marketing [therefore popularity] hype, when it comes to true hard-core back country wilderness adventure/expedition hunting. Laughable column at best, in the real world of extreme adventure hunting.

Mav, how much time do you have under a Paradox pack?

Zero would be my bet.

Uhhh yeah, you could say that. A Mystery Ranch 3-day is current SOCOM issue. Various permutations of the Lowe brother's original dual-stay internal packs (The Lowe Expedition) have been issued to SF units for 30yrs. Some of them sucked balls because they were made by low-bid idiots. The real thing has always worked as advertised. The Kifaru is the current state-of-the-art version of that original design.

The Dana Shortbed frame is load-hauling perfection, something like that would never work for SF units due to the need to be able to parachute with it. That is why the Lowe/Kifaru dual stay type pack is preffered if something other than a 3-day or the DeSade Special, otherwise known as an ALICE pack, is needed.

A HB0002 model Nexpack services tactical ability and certainly it does would service almost any "casual" hunting-related application, too. I wouldn't try to place a hind quarter of an Alaska/Yukon bull moose inside of one, though. But for everything else in North America, the HB model is great, especially for day use. On an extended backpacking (multi-night) excursion, I'll always opt for an external frame pack, but that's me. I like the dependability and the ability or option to "compromise under stressful or problematic situations" when using an external frame pack.

I copied and pasted "HB0002 Nexpack" and got your silly-ass post. Do you just come here and make up stupid schidt to amuse yourself?

So, Mr. "Take A Knee" (aka - Knee Hole):

You weren't able to find an HB002 tactical model in either black or digital grey"? Maybe your so-called "google-fu" [as like D.L.'s] is somehow flawed?

To be more specific, what external frame pack do you use if you're not using a Barneys?


That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.
