"Going for second trip for caribou in Quebec. First trip the guide asked to buy mine or my buddies. He had over 25 years in the bush as a guide. My buddy gave the guide his as a tip and bought another one when he got back to the States.

I tried one several other brands, the Kelty had the most stability and the best padding."

"If you are looking for an external frame that will haul anything, no matter shape, size or weight then this is the one for you. I have used it on float hunts and several backcountry camping trips in the wilds of Alaska with zero issues.

Examples of what we hauled, firewood, action packers (3 of the 8 gal size), inflatable raft, gear, and the list goes on."
