I do like the looks of the Rack Pack chair. For those of you using it...Does it take some practice to get it packed correctly? How does it hold up (Durable)?
I did some research online and it looks like it has been discontinued by Magnus. I also saw a review that suggested getting a set of crutch feet from the drug store to replace the feet that com on the chair.

Any other suggestions on using the Rack Pack?

with the proper hunting ethics and richer for the experience, that hunter is 20
feet closer to God.

Mike,

It's a lot like anything... the more you do it the easier it becomes and you will... at least I do, find myself tweaking it all the time...

I've never had any issues with the feet... I've set up in pasture fields, forest duff, and in the Ohio River flood plain which had been under 15 foot of water the week before...

They were a bit steep... I was able to buy mine through a friend who owned an archery shop at the time that would sell me stuff at his cost...

Still messing with pics... don't know what's the problems...

The gas mask bag I use is about 13” long…
it’s WW2 if I remember right…
it was my father’s that he used from the time I was a little fellow…
 

Here’s a pic of the inside…
 
You will find 10-12 different strikers, 4-5 pot calls,
a Primos slate that’s long and narrow, a box call,
20+ diaphragm calls, hoot flute, crow call,
coyote/peacock screamer, Lohman’s wing,
 a multi call conditioner, decoy stakes,
blind stakes, gloves, mask, beanie…

Here’s a pic of everything strapped on…  
Blind, decoys, call bag on the RackPack… I don’t carry the blind in its carry sack, but didn’t want to pull it out again, as I just put it away from deer season, on Saturday… I just wrap it up tight by twisting the outside fabric… that way it allows a much quicker setup…
 

The thing I love about the RackPack is that it
allows me to carry all the junk like a frame backpack…
 heavy shoulder straps, and hip belt which transfers the weight.
 And then it transforms into a very comfortable seat…
In fact I have to work to stay awake on slow mornings…

Here’s a pic of when everything comes together as planned…
 

Hope this helps…

Oh yeah... I forgot... I've also had a video camera and tripod straped on the RackPacks as well... got the kill of the above bird on film...

That was getting a bit heavy carrying the bird and all the junk...

sorry about the Pack pic... It's just not posting right... can't get it to trun correctly...

Blind Hog, lots of room and carries a nice load.

Turkey vest.  Strap stand, seat, and dekes to a Dwight Shuh (actually made by Coleman) plastic pack frame.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Carry blind on pack with deqs.  Ribz pack for calls, gloves, face mask, knives, extra tab and arm guard. Bow quiver on the longbow.  The Ribz  is just too convenient and I have used it for rabbit season this year and my yote call camera and all the extras are right where I need them.  I hope that Tom comes by this year

You're welcome Steven...

Wow... 99.00 that's what I gave cost for mine 3-4 years ago and that was at cost... not retail... I guess they are coming down...

I really like the two for one function...
