I don't think I could go on multi day hunts anymore without my mainframe. I love this pack and the option to configure it multiple ways.

I love my mainframe and all the junk I’ve bought for it and been using it for about 3 years. My biggest complaint is I wish they had more shoulder padding. When you are day packing they are fine, when you are packing out meat they are the worst in my opinion. I found that I only use it to bring the first load out and I switch to my alps to finish the pack out job when I get back to the truck.

I think it's funny that eberlestock has a bino harness, yet all I saw was AGC bino harness. I love mine, wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Info on that holster would be awesome.

I am fully invested in the Hill People Gear pack system. If I were to start from scratch now I’d go Eberlestock. This is the best hunting/bug out/survival/whatever pack system out there. The zippers make all of the difference.

New to external packs and just beginning to shop around for future hunts. Is there any reason I can't use a different brand frame and bag if they are similarly sized?

[philipdove]

Are the bat wings waterproof or do i need to put my items in plastic bags inside the bat wings?

I’m still figuring out new and better ways to configure my mainframe…

So not recommended for someone that's 5'5"..

I really want to understand the psychology of people who enjoy killing animals... It's like we're a different species or something. Anyway, I'm interested in this pack for transporting boxes and other awkward items on my back. The metal platform is the key feature I'm interested in, but this pack is too expensive to justify that use-case.
