That's the Badlands Vario. Very tough, very capable pack.

I'll have to check that model out. I'm using a full-size 48 liter Granite Gear pack. I like it, it puts all the weight on your hips instead of your shoulders, but it's a little big and a little loud. It cinches down pretty small without much in it though, and I have a thin fleece orange vest that fits over it and me both that quiets it down, so I'm pretty happy with it. Plus I can go on a 3-4 day backpacking trip with it, and pack out a whole lot of meat.

I still use a big fanny pack made by Crooked Horn on my easier hunts. I actually bought it off a member here, 35 Whelen, at least 15 years ago, and I have dang sure got my money's worth out of it. I love it. I've had minor tears sewn up a couple of times but overall its held up well for me, and it was used when I bought it. Sorry didnt mean to steal your thread, I'm always looking for a better pack though.
