I’m ordering the Mystery Ranch Pop Up 28. I just don’t see anything on the market that approaches this kind of versatility with this much comfort and durability.
Yeah. It was time to replace my Badlands 2200. I was looking at the replacement for the 2800. This timely discussion of the Mystery Ranch Pop Up packs lead to a bit of research. I chose the Pop Up 18 though the 28 may be a better choice. Both look like good setups .. one thing I'm going to like is the ability to carry the pad I sit on coyote calling between the bag and frame rather than swinging and bouncing loose hung off my other packs by a caribiner. It's sitting in the corner waiting for me to have enough time to move my regular day to day wandering gear to it.
