AZP&Y Report post Posted January 28, 2007 Got my Badlands bladder today, it has a temperature rating of -20c to +50 Centrigrade. Which equates to 4 below zero Farenheit up to 122 degrees. It's possible that the pressure was not relieved at such a high elevation and burst the bladder? I noticed that the seems are welded and appears to be the same material that camelback uses. Camelback has always been reliable so until this thing hits the field , hard to say for sure. Thanks for posting another perspective Blaserman. Would not be fun to be miles into the Az backcountry on a hot day and have it break open a 1/2 days walk from the truck... AzP&Y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wal-Mart sells one, with a screw on hose. That thing leaked every time I tried to use it. Then the hose somehow unscrewed and left my pack and my butt soaking wet. I now use a three litre camelback bladder in my 2200. Over the weekend my shut off valve sprung a leak again draining most of the water before I noticed. I spent the rest of the weekend carrying a 32 ounce nalgene water bottle and not hiking more than a few ridges from where the water was. It didn't matter though I always ended up getting shots a couple hundred yards from where I parked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted February 12, 2007 I can tell you that the Camelback is the way to go...... I have used them for years and have only had one leak problem with the mouth piece getting crushed.... they have a shut off valve for the mouth piece.... now I use it. I spent the money on the little worthless looking pack with the 100 oz. bladder already in it and I move that bladder from pack to pack depending on what I am doing. Believe it or not the pack that they sell with the bladder is perfect when you are horn hunting or just out day hiking/scouting...... very small and is never in your way when busting the brush.....FYI.... About packs....... We used the Wolf Pack internal frame for several years, but I think we must have pushed the limits of there warranty... they quit replacing the ones we destroyed. So, we bought the new one from Crooked Horn. It is big.... I think up to 4400 or so..... and it works great. Enough room that I can pack all my hunting gear, (optics, tripod, cameras, knives, gamebags, food, etc., etc.) and still expand it out large enough to get a boned out coues, (all the meat) and the head, horns and cape all in the pack. About a 100-110 lbs.... it was heavy, but that pack is very comfortable under any weight load. With a pack like this... 3 guys with almost empy packs can bone, cape, and scull cap a bull elk and make it out in one trip.... alot easier with 4 though. If anyone is interested in that Crooked Horn send me a PM and I give you some other info, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
