Tethrd Predator Pack Review

Once they staff up to have a full time marketing department I’m sure all of these things will be addressed in a more timely manner, but until then I doubt anyone at Tethrd is trying to intentionally deceive anyone regarding product origin or lead times and shipping updates. We’re talking about a company that is less than a dozen people, many putting in crazy hours to meet the current surge in demand for their products.

I wouldn't use the word deceive. But I do believe they are trying to make money. Tethrd has grown into a full time job for those whom started it. It's supporting their salaries and lifestyle. They are a marketing machine (not a bad thing), but they released new products prior to meeting the demand for those they have already sold, more than likely by using some if the the income created from the "presales" of the undelivered product. They continue to take people's money and miss expected delivery dates and build up a back log. They created a 2nd Gen product because a first one was failing and didn't communicate the change to their consumer base(at all), just slipped the gen 2 on to the site in place of the other an kept rolling. That was intentional. As @BayouBeauxhunter said (paraphrased) you have to look at how a company behaved in the past and assume they will continue to act the same way. It's time to get off the "we're a new company, bro, we're killing it and doing our best" horse and own up to their own inability to deliver product on time. They owe it to their customer base they've built with their killer marketing. Time to shift gears and concentrate on operations and production.

Very pleased with this pack added a sys hauler on the back of it and it is the perfect size . Hated carrying a huge backpack on a 3 hr long whitetail hunt. Also it will haul my 32 " muddy sticks on the bottom straps.

Received my pack today. Not sure what the small pouch with straps on inside is for?
Thank you

I could be wrong but I think they are for storing the shoulder straps if your not using them.. If am wrong someone please tell us
 
For storing the stock shoulder straps while the predator pack is attached to a main pack via mollie attachments.

I bought a thermarest pad the other day and am going to make a "Nugget pad" for it! can't wait to try it out. Im trying not to go the way of the knee pad
 
I am disappointed about this too and I really supported and appreciated the fact that Tethrd was/is a new USA start up so I am a little shocked about it but then again, I am not a completely Tethrd customer either. I get what I want from different companies to meet my needs and do not necessarily have any supreme brand loyalty either. However, I do really try to buy USA made products as much as possible. I do agree that they could have been more up front about this with previous customers. They have all of my order history and my email, they could have sent an email out to all of us about this. In the end, it is still America and they have taken considerable risk to start a USA company. I am glad they started this company and inherited the risks to give many, many, many of us the chance to experience saddle hunting with an extremely safe product that is of the highest quality. I will continue to support Tethrd but I do hope they can bring the entire operation back to the USA sometime soon.
One thing I really liked about Tethrd from the get-go was the fact that all products were sourced, made and assembled right here in the USA. I can't say I'm not a little disappointed to hear the news that accessories were offloaded to be manufactured overseas. This thread is the very first I heard of this. I bought the versa straps from them, and I figured based on past purchases that I was getting a 100% American product, however after reading this it appears that perhaps I didn't. I tend to agree that while the news is out there, its not a widely disseminated piece of information.
 
Got it. Thank you. I've strapped the PPack to my Badlands packs. Works great together or alone. Left existing straps in place
