? Works ok with my Badlands 2200. All 4 quarters, backstraps, etc. That's what I am using too. It works well, but the badlands is a heavy tank, plus mine is getting pretty beat up

I am a Kifaru slut, but there's nothing wrong with Mystery Ranch, Stone Glacier, Exo and the others.
Personally, I like my main pack for a daypack too. Recently for me that would by a Kifaru Reckoning with the duplex frame. I just cinch all the straps tight to suck everything in, and it all compresses to about the size of any other daypack. I too usually try to get a load of meat out on the first trip out instead of going back to camp empty to get a pack more suited to carrying meat.

sounds like you’re describing the Mystery Ranch Pop-up- 18 or 28 liters, it’s a “daypack” that morphs into a hauler. Have trained with mine most of the summer with loads 35-75 lbs, very good concept that they executed very well I'm quite happy with my Pop-Up 28! I have been using a Pop-up 28 myself and am really impressed with its capabilities. Thanks for this tip fellas I’m gonna check this out.

Pop-up and the Mule both look really good to me....think I'm leaning more towards the Mule. Interesting.

To the OP. Not to denigrate any opinions provided by others in this thread, you would be hard pressed to find one to meet your needs that is much better than Seek Outside.

I frequently use my seek outside pack without the main bag. I just use the talon bag and the top lid and they carry everything I need for a day hunt in the cold and rain (rain gear, puffy, game bags etc). Then when I shoot a deer I cut him up, put him in game bags, use the lid and talon to hold the game bags onto the frame, and carry him out all at once. So basically a day pack where you can carry 150 pounds if need be. Patrick

Also I'll add that I recently used a Stone Glacier minimalist pack the same way, and it worked well too. It was more compact as a daypack but it did not carry a heavy load (1/4 of a BIG elk) nearly as well as the Seek Outside has in the past. Patrick

Packs with nice high frame height may be a pain in the neck (quite literally) when you're trying to spot for game from prone, and can just generally be in the way when trying to bust brush - even if the pack is cinched down on the frame. The really nice thing about the Mystery Ranch Pop-Up pack is the frame is out of the way until it's time to pack out game. Additionally, the Pop-Up does not interfere with drawing a bow, fwiw.

Bout like boots or clothes, everyone is built a little different likes different things etc... I’d try as many as I could before I dropped the coin

I like the idea of the pop up. I currently use an X2 and have hauled a couple elk with it But it's heavy as a hunting pack and only decent with 60 lb of meat in it

I was out with my Popup yesterday, didn’t get to harvest anything, but did find myself in a lot of dense timber- with a full frame pack would have been a a pita (while making more noise too). I have ~ 20 lbs in it with extra clothing, emergency shelter bits, food and water, etc and couldn’t really tell I even had anything on my back - very comfy

The pop up 28 is a viable option. I did a half a mule deer Ana a spike elk solo with it so far pictures in the link below. No idea how to place them in a thread. Pop up working

The SO Evolution (possibly the Revolution, as well?) has removable frame extensions. I have the extensions out for general use, and carry them with me and can install them in a couple of minutes for meat hauling.

I love my Seek Outside Peregine. It cinches down to a nice size for a day pack and can haul more than you can carry comfortably. The peregrine is also great for a three to four day backpack. The ability to seperate the pack from the frame and carry a load in between them is golden.

Shape of the frame , and how clean it is has a lot to do with catching on brush. A lot of attachments, or straps loose all over and ya you will catch on stuff

I love my KUIU icon pro. The 1850 bag is the one I use the most. It is about perfect for what you’re describing. I’ve done multiple day trips with the 3200 bag, but it is was tight. I’d say the 3200 would be good for cold weather day hunting or one or two early season nights. I bought a 5200 bag off the classifieds here and it is the real deal for going several nights.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

I'd also recommend one of the stone glacier packs, I've been very happy with mine.
