6300 ordered. Look forward to putting some miles on it. Should be great!
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

That's a good point. I didn't think of that. Too focused on a cheap MR pack

So, if I order that Paradox Evolution frame with the compression deal, would I be able to fit camp and 70lbs of meat in a dry bag?

Calvin it depends on the dry bag. The frame will handle more than you can IME.

The frame will handle more than you can IME. I agree. In my limited use with the Paradox (I only packed out a mountain goat) the frame seem stout especially considering the weight. If I were you I'd use two different dry bags rather than one big on. One for all your gear and one for the meat/hide if for no other reason than to keep your gear clean.

So, if I order the frame and compression panel, can I order just the 6300 bag in the future if I decide I want the bag? Can't find it on the website.

Frame and Compression Panel 6300 Packbag I may as well let the cat out of the pack bag as well, we will have a few new packbags and components shortly after the new year. Mostly different size roll top bags and different size Talons as well.

Mostly different size roll top bags and different size Talons as well. Thanks. I just watched your video. Now when you say the packbag is waterproof, does that mean it's truly water proof, like you can use it as a floatation device if you needed to? Or Goretex waterproof that is water proof until it it scrapes through wet brush and then water soaks through? Will my stuff be dry if I slog through a rainforest for hours with wet foliage and a downpour? It it truly is waterproof, I'll probably get the whole set up. And, Is the day pack that straps on the outside of the bag waterproof too? Or will water come in through the zippers?

The XPAC fabric of the pack bag is waterproof to 200 PSI. Zippers are not waterproof, but do have a zipper garage. Stitch holes are not waterproof. Zippers are optional on the pack bags, so it is a trade off of convenience vs. water proofing. Stitch holes can be seam sealed to prevent leakage.
So the short answer is fabric will not wet out or leak through, stitch hole / seams and zippers might. Zippers are optional. The day pack is the same material, same limitations.
Blood from the inside washes out very easily and will not stain inside of pack bag. On the outside of pack bag, it is not likely to have a noticeable stain.

How does 200 PSI compare to the material they make dry bags out of for waterproofness?
