Eberlestock backpack
« on: November 01, 2011, 12:27:14 PM »
I am looking at the Eberlestock J34 pack. I would like to use this pack to haul whitetail quarters out of the mountains on day hunts. I would also like to use the pack for an elk hunt I have planned in a few years. Does anyone have experience with this pack, or this brand of pack?
 
Thanks
Brian

I bought the eberlestock X2 earlier this year.  I haven't got a chance to pack meat on it yet, but it handled 75lbs of salt better than my packframe does.  It seems to be very well made.  I would definately recommend them.

I've got the Gunslinger. It works well but is probably larger than I need. I boned out an antelope and packed it out in one trip. It's well made and comfortable.
