Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Did any of you every hunt with a Kelty external frame?

I used one for years....great pack....ahead of its time.

Mine had the SS buckle on the waist belt that I wish other pack makers would copy as these plastic squeeze buckles are a PIA.
Should you fall in a creek with a load on your back, the Kelty buckle is quick to exit with cold, gloved hands.

I watch yard sales for old worn out Kelty packs and buy em for the buckle.
