Howdy guys,
I'm a frequent reaader on 24hr campfire -there are many serious backpack hunters there ,guys that pack into the yukon for 10-12 days.
Anyway the badlands packs are highly spoke of ,try sage creek outfitters for good prices and service.
Badlands are for the guy who goes in w/the essentials and comes out w/a trophy buck on his back..
Remember you get what you pay for ,a badlands will last you a lifetime -break the seemingly high price down over 20 yrs you'll feel much better about the price then..Mike
