Title: Breakdown or collapsing pack frame?
Post by: JockC on March 27, 2008, 11:20:00 AM
Has anyone come across a collapsing pack frame besides the one from rockymountainpacks.com?  I'm looking for something I could put in a big fanny pack/day pack and then put together when I had to carry meat and antlers out from way in or up.

The Quick Packer-$109.00 unless that's the one you're talking about from RMPs.

No, that's a different one, and it's made here in MT (as opposed to far away Idaho)...Have you used it?

No,I just read the reviews and thought it might work for you. I carry a military Alice pack frame out and leave it in the truck.

Go to   kifaru\\'s website (http://www.kifaru.net/CARGOCHR.HTM)   and check out their cargo chair system for their packs.

JockC, I think I have the RMP you were talking about. The rhino? I like mine, it goes together easy and I strap my day pack on it. I'm pretty sure the day pack off a Dwight Schuh pack will attach to it with the same buckles you use with the peak I frame.

I've never had to carry a real heavy load with it yet but packed a quartered antelope about 2 miles in comfort.

Barney, I'll bet you're right.  It's fitted with the same slots as a Schuh/Peak One pack.

Flatbow, rtherber, thanks for your thoughts.  I'm looking into them.  I'm not sure it's a big market, but I'm also not sure that there's not a great business waiting here for someone....hard to get an eastern hunter to bone out an animal, and harder yet to get a western hunter to drag one out.  I know what my preference is, having done a fair amount of both.
