Badlands or Bison Gear

[Gehrke145]

I've never had the BG but the badlands and bruzer gear are both great packs!  I know you didnt mention bruzer but they are great!  The only downer for the badlands is they are kinda heavy.  I dont think you can go wrong with any of them.

I didn't intend for you to believe I was saying all Bison Gear was good for was to be used as a duffel bag.

That was what the questioner said he was going to do with the pack, so I was limiting my discussion to his intended use.

Several folks have brought up discussions of fanny packs and the like...the questioner was very specific in that he wanted to use a Badlands 4500 or a large bison gear pack. I was only remarking about those two packs.

If you know Badlands, you know that they are tall and narrow, and someone packing all types of gear and groceries in them will find it difficult sitting in a tree and getting out the particular item they need when compared to a Bison Gear pack, as they are better suited to hanging in a tree and reaching in to grab items from, among the many other things they are also suited to, which I wasn't discussing.

Angelo is a dear friend, I love his products- they are well thought out and well made.

I can't say enough good things about my Bison Gear "Elk Hunter" model. Quality build and VERY QUIET.  Angie worked with me on what I needed and custom built it.

Ray hit it on the head!! I am looking for just that and I am not disagreeing with JC at all either. Both packs have their merits and for my purpose the Bison Gear gets the nod!! If I were gonna use it as a pack for hiking in and setting up camp I would most likely end up with a Badlands for the main pack. Both outstanding products!! Shawn

HOW BOUT AN ALICE MILITARY PAC, COST IS LOW,TOUGH AND LOTS OF ROOM! I USE THIS ON THOSE LATE NOVEMBER HUNTS, CARRY INSULATED BIBS AND EXTREAME WEATHER COAT,FOOD,WATER BOTTLE AND ALL THOSE EXTRAS TO STAY ON STAND IN THE COLD FOR THE WHOLE DAY! JUST A THOUGHT! BUT IF COST ISN'T A MATTER, THEN THE LENHI IS A NICE PAC!!

Shawn, I own a Killshot Pack, by Timberhawkgear.com  and I could not be happier. Check'm out, excellent product and I got mine cheaper on that famous bidding website.  Tu Carnales, Suty

You might also check out the Blacks Creek packs. They have an adjustable torso so the pack is not one size fits most. Badlands packs don't fit my longer torso.

I have checked out every pack known to man, the Bison Gear and the Badlands have the best customer service in a quality pack. I am waiting for the arrival of a Bison Gear from Angelo!! Shawn

Shawn,

You won't regret getting the Bison Gear Pack.  Jason and I both hunt with them and won't use anything else.
