Ive heard really good things about the Bul Pac Gerry! I doubt you will EVER wear that thing out & would love to try one! I really like my Barney's frame too. I think its a great frame, very ridged & great suspension. But,i like having my pack with me all day so i have basic overnight neccesities with me at all times & if i do kill something i can haul a load out. The frame pack has been a pain for me because i do much of my hunting in country that is choked with alders & the upper ears of the frame are constantly hanging up on stuff. When using a pack like the eberlestock or kifaru & packing meat in the bag i line it with a large contractors garbage bag to keep it clean.
Differenf strokes for different folks!
I know packs arent a one size fits all kinda thing.


Sorry for all the misspelling in these posts. Did them on my phone & my fingers just don't work that well!!!!
Finally got home & fixed them on the laptop.
