I’ve been looking for a new pack but the dang things are so expensive. I came across this one on a FB Saddle page and for $62 on sale, I had to give it a try. (It’s still only $69 regular retail) Showed up today and man I like it!! Not too big, not too small. I’ll never fill it up with gadgets and trinkets but there is plenty of room to stuff outer layers in for the long walk in or whatever else you may find you need the room for. Holds my Predator XL perfect. Still haven’t decided if I’m going to keep my sticks fastened to the bottom or if I’ll try them vertically with my platform. I ordered the CRUZR Mini Seeker Platform tonight to scale down a bit. Been running the Predator XL for 3 years. If you’ve been on the hunt for a new pack that caters to the mobile guy and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, I highly suggest checking it out.
TideWe camo waterproof hunting backpack offers plenty of space for storing and organizing gear and helps reduce noise to keep you undetected in the woods.
Anyone onestick? I currently use Wild Edge steps. I have 14, and use most of them on non prepped tree. Trying to find ways to shave weight.
I switched to one sticking for this season. It’s the perfect setup for me. I go very deep on public and also use a kayak quite often. I shaved 3+ lbs of my setup from sticks, aiders, and platform with a lot less bulk. Contrary to popular belief 40’ of quality repel rope only weighs about 1 lb. And I can hunt up to 35 feet if I choose and can literally hunt any tree. Takes about the same amount of time to get up as my previous setup. Just as quiet and not near as much movement as some people think. Also I can be on the ground and packed up in about 3 minutes without climbing down in the dark.
Gotta find a system that works for you and Don’t bash it till you try it. Lol

Which saddle are you running? Ive noticed thats something people don't factor into the one sticking equation. One sticking with my Dryad is pretty much a crossfit workout. Gonna be listing it soon for that reason!
I like my Predator XL platform. I was concerned it may be too big but for my size 13 feet and big stature I found I have plenty of room to move around and never felt limited in mobility.

Yeah, I do love the rappel and one sticking! But I am keeping my butt in a hang on stand, lol. It's funny, causes I do everything like a saddle hunter, except packing a bigger stand. I just move too much in a saddle. Sitting with my back to a tree helps me a lot with motion.
Hang-n-hunt this evening had a spike (3pt) walk under me. At dark I 100% packed up and out with no light and made it to truck and was still getting pics of him at the feed pen
Had it been a shooter and I’d been sitting at pen it would have been borderline with light…. Then I’d have had to sit up there for an hour in the dark praying I didn’t get picked off or blow him out leaving
