Title: Black Creek Packs "Bone Collector 2.5" ???
Post by: bigislandmark on November 07, 2008, 01:28:00 PM

Aloha All,

In the market for a new pack and am looking hard at the Bone Collector 2.5. Wondered if anyone has any experience with that pack? Pros/Cons? Currently I am using a Badlands 2800 for hunts. I find it comfortable enough "but" like everything else, I am looking for a better mouse trap. I put in a few miles when hunting and  prefer to stalk with the pack on. Reason is that I've managed to "misplace" my pack several times on stalks.

Mahalo,

        Mark

No suggestions but I thought I would say hi. I haven’t seen you on here for a while. Where have you been?

Does this mean you spend more time hunting for your pack then hunting animals?   :bigsmyl:

Howzit Braddah Tom,

I was busy playing with my bow with training wheels. I forgot how to shoot a real bow and had to go back fo remedial training.

This year I  was lucky enough to harvest a few blind and deaf animals  with that bow. After awhile I fell into "da blahs". I could've cared less if I went hunting or not.  -----Scary eh, to even think like dat? Went back to Trad to rekindle da fire. Must've worked cuz now all I can think about is the next hunt! Been fun ever since---- flinging arrows, AND--- some animals actually walk into da path of my arrows!----- Amazing eh?

Brahdah, I guess you've seen me hunting out in the field eh? I'm da guy with that lost look on his face going around in circles. I tell everyone its a new scanning technique when out hunting. You look down instead of up. Confuses the animals.

Aloha,

Thanks for the bump Brahdah Tom,

I was able to do some research on Black Creek packs after I posted.  I ended up ordering  a Black Creek Canadian pack. I think that it fits my needs as it expands out----- to haul more meat---- at least I can dream eh?  Also it has a separate compartment to keep my other gear/clothing from getting bloodied.

Aloha!

Great! I’m looking forward to the stories of your hunts and the hero pictures that go with them.   :campfire:
