A picture is worth a thousand words. I, in fact, just got such a pack on the same auction site for the same reason....long walk in and I get too sweaty wearing most of my gear....so, I'm gonna dress light next year and pack it in.

So do you pack the deer out on top of the stand??    

You guys are nuts.   :eek:

My spots are between 1.5 to 2 miles in. I strap my stand, daypack and small duffel with clothes to a pack frame. comes in around 30 lbs, depending on how much clothes. the frame makes it so much more comfortable. One reason I use a lone wolf climber, light and packs flat.

Actually my property is land locked to vehicular travel so we either have to walk in or canoe in. We prefer the canoe but right now the river is low and frozen. For most of the season we can canoe in. However, I am one of those guys who sweats a lot even with minimal exertion. I often need to at least change my base layer shirt because of sweat and if it is cold enough for my feet to get cold I bring a change of socks and those hand warmers to throw into the toes of my boots. I got the pack in order to carry my cold weather gear in, as suggested in the YouTube video, and to carry in other "things" during other seasons when we want to camp out, work or set up tree stands, make blinds, etc. Getting a deer out...we have two options...one is the canoe and the other is the game cart I already have out there hidden under a blowdown.

I use a cabel's, Alaska and guide frame, it's designed for packing out 150 lbs. of meat, I use it to carry and my double bull and my day pack, but since I purchased my Lone Wolf Alpha hang on and climbing sticks, I haven't used by Alaska guide frame.

The difference between yours and mine, is the area around the lower back is all padded and the straps are about 2 1/2 inches wide with padding.  So it makes a little more comfortable.  I have been talking with guys after I packed out of place standing in talking for about an hour, the calm and I get " boy that pack must be comfortable even standing here for 45 minutes with it on", and it is its comfortable I can pack in a lot of weight with, but then again I ask myself why !  So that's when I went to the Lone Wolf products, they're lightweight, and I stopped taking three gourmet meals in, I haven't used a double bull T5, I have been mostly hunting out of tree stands, I purchased a T 2, and I like that, I put in the light rods, and I don't use the Alaska and guide frame to take everything in.

And they are right " do you put the deer on top of the tree stand"  ?  It looks like you got that packed up with the port a potty, sure does look like there's a lot of stuff in there, but you do make me feel good, mine is not packed up that bad, I carry and a backpack and my tree stand and steps, the land that I'm hunting now, is also landlocked, we have to walk in a mile to a mile and a half, depending on where we go on the land.  And you're right about this sweat stuff.  It was 4° the other day, and after getting my stand I was still sweating, I purposely walk slow and deliberate.  Still had sweat.

But if that pack works for you, that's all that counts.
