[QUOTE="gusd, post: 1299713, member: 90071"] Don't know how much this will help but, I have a Cabela's alaskan frame I only use it for hauling meat. So I don't know much about pack options. Here are my likes. It has nice shoulder straps and, hip belt. Here are my dislikes. I should preface this with the fact that I am 6'5" and 215#'s and I would call myself fit. I have a 34" waist and just about take all of the adjustment out of the waist belt so,if one has a smaller waist than that I would think you would not be able to get the belt tight enough. Here is my biggest complaint the platform that folds down sits way to low to be useful I find that if I place a quarter of meat on the platform the weight is way to low on my back which I find very uncomfortable. I found I need to try to tie the meat higher on the frame which is my second complaint there are no good tie down points on the frame itself which makes for a pain in the butt. By the time I get a quarter securely tied down I have ropes running everywhere. It looks like a drunk spider tried to make a web to hold it on!! My brother uses an old ALICE pack the weight sits nice and high He just drops the quarter right in the pack bag a couple ropes on the outside and it is secure. That pack works way better is way cheaper but not quite as comfortable. Better shoulder straps and waist belt would make it a perfect pack in my opinion. He uses it just for packing meat since when you put a quarter in the bag it tends to get blood on it. [/QUOTE]
