GhostTracker180 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Try silicone spray. I had an external aluminum frame pack and had to tape the pins in place where the straps attached. I don't know if tape is an option for you. Lets us know what works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted December 29, 2014 I have one of those Alaskan pack frames for packing out animals, that I strap my day pack to if I plan to go on a long hike. Squeaks at all the grommet/pin spots. I used some silicone spray, which helps for awhile, but then it wears off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted December 29, 2014 I am thinking about returning it. Not as well made or well thought out as my old eberlestock but hauls more meat and is lighter. I thought these packs were "made by hunters, for hunters"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnie blaze Report post Posted December 29, 2014 External frames have always squeaked from the beginning of time. Unless your not taking it off for archery....they're not as noisy as we think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted December 30, 2014 OK, I bought some silicone spray and saturated the shoulder straps and where the webbing rubs the frame and it was much better this morning while pig hunting. Still some squeaks but I think I have them narrowed down. I think I will spray it again and hang it by the straps overnight with some weights in the pack and see if that doesn't help with the tight stitching, which seems to be the only noisy spots remaining.

Bringing up an old post but I'm having the same issue with my Outdoorsmans Optic Pack. Did this silicone spray end up as a good long lasting fix or what was your end result?

I washed the blood out of my Eberlestock after elk season and now it's squeaky toward the top where the internal frame contacts the pack. I haven't messed with it but I need to try something Blood on your pack? You fall down, cut? Hope you're ok, buddy. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
