While you are hauling meat you dont need to re-attach the batwings. After you put the pack all back together after load hauling you'll put those back on.
Im 6'4" 160 pounds. So saying im slim is an understatement. I want a pack to be able to do multiple nights tarp camping summer or winter. I was going to get the 50L but i think it may be too small for winter sleep gear. But The 100L looks a bit big for me to handle if it's loaded down. Do you think the 75 is big enough for winter sleep gear and some extra clothes on top of all the other essentials?
I think that 75 would be perfect. And if you did need it, you could haul some things on the overload system. But the 75 is definitely the right size for most applications
Would the 50 be good for whitetail? In a tree stand or saddle? I like to pack my clothes in and cool off before putting them on so I don’t sweat and freeze.
So the short answer is yes. You could certainly use this for whitetail the only downfall is that it is not quiet fabric like is used in the whitetail line. I have used the metcalf or other frame packs from MR when hunting a long way in for whitetails. I like having a frame/overload system with me in case I shoot something a couple miles from the truck I can haul a couple quarters out at a time and save at least one trip in to get the deer.
@@soholtbrothers I have a pop up 30, it’s just too small for me and I don’t like not having a side zipper. Just kinda falls short in a couple areas. It’s between the metcalf and the pop up 40 for me. Probably going to sell the pop up 30. And I found a better deal on the metcalf than on the pop up 40. I will also be using it to pack in sticks and stands and saddle gear etc. Don’t know the real world difference between the ultralight frame and the pop up frame other than the pop up feature.
Nice clip , cheers from New Zealand
Thanks!
I wonder if that daypack would connect to the old metcalf last year's version
I just purchased the 50, when hauling meat out, do you have to reclip the batwings or just connect the buckles?

@@soholtbrothers Great stuff, appreciate it
Do you think the 50L would be enough to haul out a black bear if it was otherwise mostly empty?
I’d think for sure you could haul a bear. Especially utilizing the overload system for the meat

@@soholtbrothers thanks. That's what I'll go with
consider eating more?
