Bison Gear pack pictures

BTW, I've had this pack for 18 years and its still going strong.  Most of its time has been spent in the Cohutta Wilderness.

I found the thread, luckily I have cataloged a few. I have a few more pics of my pack and Tom's.   

This was from 2007...

Thanks for sharing Terry I appreciate it. Do you remember offhand what the model of your B.G. pack is by chance?

[Terry Green]

Did you shoot that goat while you were wearing the pack?

Yes, it is so comfortable that I don't even know its there. 

 Iowabowhunter, it's a Selway that I got from when Angelo owned the company, unfortunately it is not offered at this time.

aah I gotcha, ok no worries thanks for letting me know. I'll see what he can whip up for me, yours looks about perfect I just wouldn't need the waist belt.

Thanks!

Iowa, just curious, why would you not need the waist belt?

I've got a Stone Glacier meat hauler type pack- looking for something quite a bit smaller but shaped like a regular back pack (similar to his "Chama" which I think should fit the bill perfectly).

Looking more for a whitetail/bear hunting type pack that will fit on the seat of my hang and hunt stand & that I can hang off a small hanger but still hold everything I need.

Ah, a walk to the stand type pack.  I use one of those at the Laredo hunts because it keeps all my stuff together and just walk 100 yards or so to our 'hub' and I drop the pack in the shade.  Most days its just a fanny pack my wife and daughters for me years ago that's black with a SW Indian pattern.  I don't use my Selway like that.  What I use my Selway for a non-waist belt back would be a disaster. As you can see, we are all hunting with our packs on, climbing, leaning and such.

Tom is making one called the Chana now that is a smaller pack.  I used one in Manitoba and I could get rain gear, my thermacell, tree stand essentials and much more in the pack.

That’s exactly right

Jacob,

Here are mine:
First Trip Explorer on the left, won it in a raffle at the 2006 PBS Banquet in Salt Lake City. I have used the heck out this pack, with the pull out bag. Carried out a quartered out mule deer buck around 1 1/2 mile with it once (it was not comfortable). I had a Bison gear Fanny pack before this was much better.

Yes, Tom is making the the larger packs (Selway), I am unsure of the name for my new one on the right.  Bought it from Tom at the PBS Banquet in Lexington last March.  It will carry all my cold weather gear quietly.

Thanks Walt, hope all is well out in the 406!

Thanks for the update Walt Tom asked me over a year ago if he could borrow mine to get the specs if he needed them.  I have neither seen nor heard any announcement about a new pack. But if he's making it the same specs as the Selway that's fantastic.

Does anyone have pics they can share of their Chama?

More about the Selway later.

Hey Terry, Tom will be on his way back from Canada around the first week of July, said he'd send me some pics of the Chama that he has available. I'll share once I get em!

I have not I’ll take a look though!

Here is my Lost River model. It is an excellent pack and very comfortable to wear.  However, if i could change a couple things;  add some mollie loops for more attachment points, make it about 6 inches taller/deeper, and i'd move the belt pouches more to the front of the belt.
My pack must be 15 years old or so and looks just as good today as it did when i bought it.

Great pics guys.  Always a fan of Bison Gear.
