I do a lot of “hike in and hunt”, hunting. My current pack is ripping beyond repair. Looking for a durable yet lightweight pack that I can stuff all my layers of clothes in, including a pair of insulated coveralls and that can be attached to my lightweight climbing stand (or attach my climbing stand to the pack). I need something that has enough room for a small boned out whitetail (40lbs of meat). What do you suggest. If it’s something cabelas carries, I have 130$ in gift cards that can be used. Thanks for any feedback.

Well now I'm really confused. You asked the same thing earlier this month. Why not just bump that thread? I thought you got as sound of advice as you're going to get in that thread. Much more sound than you're going to get in your Campfire posting.

A lightweight day pack, tree stand and a meat hauler? I use this for packing in a tree stand and throw a water proof stuff sack in back for clothes. I think the external frames work best for packing in tree stands, climbing sticks, float tubes and doubling for a meat hauler out and have tried most types of packs. Ive tried the tree stand, day pack and not compatible for me. IMO https://www.sportsmansguide.com/pro...GUSf5hRLixIT7CJodOPKxXcDswIaAusKEALw_wcB

It depends on what you want the pack to do. Most days I use a Badlands, similar to the 2200. I have enough gear to spend a night (if I have to) and can haul 1/2 of a boned out deer, that puts me ~85 lbs and that's all I can pack out of the mountains in a trip. Shorter trips I use a Diablo but I'm never too far in with that.
What would Porter Rockwell do?

Eberlestock X2. Shorter pack but expands for packing overnite. I have used them for over 10 years and get a new one every year due to wear and blood. They clean up pretty good but I usually find another guide who needs a pack on the cheap so I get a new one

May regret it but I settled on this...
ALPS OutdoorZ Pathfinder Hunting Pack
Seems like a decent day pack with lots of features. Just hope it’s built to last.
