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

Still do. Bought this model in about 70, at Barney's, or maybe Gary King's in ANC , acquired another same model and size in about 75 with remote cabin purchase, bought my wife one her size same year. I wore out one of mine (broken frame), but we are still hunting/ camping with the other 2, with better straps and bands than the originals.





If I can find a legal one of these next year, it will get real work again. I took this pic from between pack and staff with iphone SE. Birch above high point of pack frames the moose on the right, in that pic.
