Best USA made pack for elk hunting??

[ssgenuine]

We are hotel camping it so it will mainly be used for rain/snow gear and getting meat out. Probably just use a small pack until something is shot and then get big pack out of Ranger. Reality is the pack will never have anything in it because there really isn't any elk left up there. All fake news I think.

I will go check out the store and try on the MR's. Thanks guys, I realize a pack is usually one size fits none, but your info is really helpful, I wasn't even aware that packs came in different body sizes.

Being able to take a dip in the pool of knowledge is awesome. Thanks

Pop Up 18 would be best.. Small pack for just carrying the items you might need for a day hike and then the frame is able to extend upwards for carrying larger loads. The nice thing about the Mystery Ranch packs/system is that you can buy the Pop Up and then down the road when you want a bigger pack just buy something like the Pintler or the Metcalf sold as the bag only and use the frame that you already have for the Pop Up.
