Hello,

A shameless plug here - if posting a link to my ebay auction is prohibited please let me know and I'll delete this message. I have three Dana Design external packs up for auction. The separate auctions are for two Terraframe and one Shortbed pack.
I used to do a lot of backpack hunting but I cannot carry heavy loads anymore. I know there used to be a lot of interest in these packs on the backpack hunting page in the past. These packs have just been sitting in my garage for the last few years. Here are the links:

They work just fine:

To bad they are not size large frames. I am still looking for one.

Big W, frames are all the same size, just the hipbelts and shoulder harnesses that vary. I use a Kifaru hipbelt on mine anyway. I don't think the shoulder harness size is going to be that critical. I think one of these would work out fine for you with your K hipbelt.

I don't believe this is true, but I could be wrong. The way the adjustment system works seems to mandate that there were actually two different sized frames. When you max out a Regular, it maxes out because the frame won't allow the harness to go any higher as you slide it upward. It isn't because the harness system doesn't have more material to give. It's the frame that stops it from going higher than 19" torso length. I know a bit about this because I'm right there on the cusp of their sizing. I could use another .5-1" on the torso length on a size Regular, but I can't milk anymore out of the frame. I have plenty of strapping to grab that slight bit more in the length, but if I did so, the loadlifters would curl around the bar and become useless.

Yeah i need a large torso sized frame or harness. I am 6' tall and i where 30" inseam pants. That should tell you enough right there, i think my torso measurement is around 21". Dang it, i would love to buy one of these.

Nope, different frame sizes.

looks like I stand corrected.

Love that pic.. Bike tire tube? I totally dig my external for the heavy haul.

I would be interested, but I don't do ebay... if it doesn't work out there, PM me a price, if it's a decent deal I'd buy one.
