Anybody have any good suggestions on some good fair priced packframes?I would like to get one for training and maybe haul my turkey blind around central pa woods.

kelty cache hauler is a good one about $120.00 new or try to find the frame of an old camp trails expedition pack, I have being trying to get one for cheap for awhile.

I like the old Coleman plastic pack frames, very light, but you can really load them up!

Military ALICE pack frames can be had for cheap and I think work well.  You can usually find them for $20-30.

I was just looking at some on fleaBay . $10-$20 and lots of them.

I 2nd Kelty cache hauler backcountryedge.com 99.95 free shipping.

I bought a military ALICE pack frame and I love it, 32.00. I camo'd it up like my handmade ghillie suit and can't wait to use it this season. Probably too much room which will only create a struggle not to bring more than I need.

Just bought an Alice on line for $9.99. Just the frame and straps. Gonna rig my folding chair on one side, my Safari Tuff on the other side and bag in the middle. Thought I would try that before I dug deeper in my pocket for a Waldrop.

L.L. Bean reportedly makes a nice one for about $100...

I carried one for four years and it never failed. It is pretty comfortable to. Alice packs come in a M,L,XL sizes, and they all fit the same frame. Make sure it has the kidney pad.

The military plywood/canvas frames are an excellent frame for lashing big heavy loads on.
I have packed a lot of elk quarters on these frames and they are very comfortable, quiet and nearly indestructable.
