Lets see your Bison Gear Packs

[Gary Logsdon]

Yeah Marc, I have too of those old patches, one that I received when I became a member of the FBSC and a second patch that Fred gave me in a trade when I gave him a United Bowhunters of KY patch for his museum. That's the one I have on the pack for "good luck".

Great story Gary.

[Gary Logsdon]

"Little things" mean a lot Marc.

Well Here's my New Outfitter with shoulder straps. It in Loden with Loden webbing and a modified left hip pad. I also got the Bino Pouch and Canteen Holder. Can't wait to try it out, the quality and stitching is awesome.  Tu Compadres, Sutty

PS. I took this picture at the Fire Station , so its not as pretty as most of the other " in action Bison Pack pictures" I am jealous and can't wait to put mine in action.

I want to see that on you as you are putting out a fire. Now that would be a cool picture!

[Dry Creek]

How about some more pictures.

I just waxed (paraffin) the zippers on mine. It's heading to the high country within a day or two. Same place the pics were taken. It never seems to wear. Still solid as ever.

I've been lusting for a bison gear pack like Charlie's for some time now. Tradbrew, how does that will pack hold up down south? It doesn't get too hot against your back? I may be moving down south and am torn between the wool and the bucksuede like chuckC's bag. Btw, chuckC, what kind of bow is that? I love the green!

I'll never be without mine,best pack hands down in my opinion

Bunyan, due to the fact that there isn't a whole lot of surface are touching your back, and that the backing is actually mesh it is not bad at all. It is actually a little cooler than a Kuiu 1850 that I own as well.

Tradbrew, thanks! That's just what I was wondering about!

[ChuckC]

Bunyan, the bow is a 66" Big River bow made by a gent in Wisconsin.  The colors are spray painted on (removeable camo paint).  I often do silly things like that.     also...

that pack is actually wool, not the bucksuede.  I can't imagine ever wearing it out.  Not the lightest thing even empty, but not so bad either and very easy on the back.  

That style has a removeable inner stuff bag for carrying loads that exceed the bag capacity, in case you need to carry meat out.

Bunyon:  Charlie's and Chuck's packs are Lost River models.  No mesh on the backs of them. I have a Lost River wool pack as well.  In that model, for warmer southern temps, I'd recommend buck suede.  Very tough, lighter and cooler.

[TradBrewSC]

The older model Lost rivers may not have had mesh backs but mine does and is listed as a current spec.

Love the pack, couldn't ask for anything more.
