az_shooter Report post Posted June 22, 2014 Cal ranch actually has some decent pack frames for a reasonable price, if you don't have a Cal Ranch store where you live then maybe check it out online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reganranch Report post Posted June 22, 2014 That frame pack from Cal Ranch is a POS. Buy quality gear, it started busting straps at 25lbs, don't buy it unless you want to buy a frame pack twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnie blaze Report post Posted June 22, 2014 Sportsmans has some, or they used to, that aren't priced too bad. But you get what you pay for, and a frame is definitely one piece of equipment you don't wanna skimp on. I've been a freighter guy ever since I can remember and never had a problem with em. You might get lucky and pick one up on ebay/craigslist used for $50. If you do.....snatch that mofo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apache7mm Report post Posted June 25, 2014 Agree with buying quality gear, i use the 'Alaskan I' Frame strictly for hauling or packing out and never have problems, $99.99 at Cabelas, this review sums up my findings of this Frame exactly... "I have two of these packs which I've used to pack out multiple elk and deer. My only complaint about this pack is that it squeaks. While it's not loud enough to jeopardize your hunt, it is really annoying to have it squeak with every step. As far was overall comfort and load hauling ability, I have no complaints. I have carried out loads in excess of 80 lbs., and the pack performed great." DAN 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, I did not know that, I just noticed that they had them and have never heard anything about them, thanks for the info. If I ever but a pack frame I'll be sure to stay away from them.
