User Review: Kelty Cache Hauler

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. The waist belt has a very firm foam that compresses under heavy loads and doesn't let the frame dig in. We packed out 8 caribou, and everyone that used the packs loved them. The metal supports for the meat rack seemed to help stabilize the pack more than the nylon straps of other brands.
