Mystery ranch makes some of the best designed and highest quality packs I have ever seen or used(mostly large multi day packs I have used) .I have the mystery ranch pop up 28. Works really well for me. Sticks go in the load shelf, clothes and water in the pack, and platform strapped to outside. Really compact, well balanced, carries well and I can pack out a deer in one trip. A little on the pricey side but a good pack is so important for comfort. And it is crazy versatile, from scouting to fishing I have never used a pack for so many different things.

Alps outdoors “Pathfinder” pack has been a great versatile pack for me over the last 3 years. I added the turkey vest pockets on the front giving me easy access to often used items. I recommend checking them out
I have this pack and plan to use with the predator stand and my helium sticks.
For those who haven't seen, it's a backpack shoulder strap system, but a large fanny-pack is all that's connected (low, like belt level on your back). The top of the fanny pack unzips and has another bag that can clip up on the shoulder straps and look like a full regular backpack. http://www.alpsoutdoorz.com/products/packs/hunting-packs/pathfinder
I'm thinking I'll keep the top-pack folded down into the bottom part, and use paracord or something to tie buckles compatible with the shoulder harness onto the predator platform and/or a fleece wrap for attaching the helium sticks.
Can you attach sticks to any of em?I have a bunch of Badlands and love them. When I get the Predator I think it will fit awesome in one of them.
I just got the horn hunter main beam a couple of days ago. This video does a really good job of breaking it down.
I still use the horn hunter mainbeam as well.

I dont, but have always had issues with stretchy mesh pockets like that on the outside catching burrs, thorns, seeds, everything when going through the woods...In fact if you look at the picture I posted of my pack...even the small side pocket of mine has a burr in it, ha!Anyone have experience with a Tenzing TC 1260?View attachment 4827
