Tethrd Predator Pack Review

Vtbow said:
So everything that is not a Mantis or a predator is now made in China?

Sorry, I find it extremely misleading and many consumers will as well. The Site says made in USA all over it, and the origins of each products are not listed in the specs or details. "Announcement" curious where? How would a NEW customer ever know about the announcement if they are not part of your social media campaigns and email marketing?

Don’t have to be a part of Tethrd’s social media campaign or email marketing system. It’s written clear as day on their website in the news and announcements section 8/30/19. I can tell by your posts you are anxious to become a tethrd customer and supporter. Hopefully this helps you with your decision.
 
Wanting to like my predator pack but having a tough time. Wish there was an option for quick release buckke instead of the j hook and loop, or that the j hook was plastic hardware. Lots of potential for clang and bang I feel. Even the shoulder strap hardware and buckles have potential to make small clunking and clinking noises. Overall there’s a ton of potential with this thing but I’ll need to make some small mods to make it really work for me.

Super easy. Go to tethrd nation.com then click on news. Then click on news and announcements. Then scroll back to the August update, then click continue reading. Then read the article. It’s right there.

See with just a little interest in finding out about the company anybody can find it.
 
I wasn’t a fan of the pack and I felt the same way about the metal buckles making noise. Straps need an upgrade too, but at that point I feel it’s a lot to invest and I’d say buy a day pack.
 
I would really love to see more reviews about the pack itself and less about China. I bought one, as well as the straps posted previously. I think it's going to work out but really want to know/see what other guys are doing as far as changing out straps.
 
So i've taken mine on 3 hunts now. My first hunt I strongly disliked a few things about it, and new I would have to make a couple mods if It was going to have a place in my setup. 2nd hunt I was liking it more after mods. And 3rd I really am starting to love my predator pack.

Primarily I use the predator pack to haul my predator up the tree. Prior to that I would sling my predator around my neck and arm messenger style, but I always felt it was getting in the way and on occasion banging on something. Now I simply wear the pack like a backpack up the tree and have easy access to my predator platform. Once setup I simply hang the pack from a gear hanger or hook and it's out of the way.

First thing I did was to add a medium sized molle pouch to the pack. This comfortably holds a ranger, grunt call, release, and milkweed pouch. While it's tempting to stuff a few more things in there, i'm trying to show some restraint here.

The second thing was to wrap all of the metal buckles with the exception of the tethrd j-hook slides with camoform tape. This was my number one issue with the pack out of the box - metal buckles clanging and jingling. Even just putting it on and you could potentially get a good clink from the metal buckles hitting the plastic ones. Camoform fixed this right up, but make sure you put it on after you've decided if you're running the shoulder straps or not.

There is really only one change I would like them to make to the pack moving forward: Ditch the tetherd j-hooks for quick-release style plastic buckles. The metal buckles are a little obnoxious IMO, and prone to making noise.

Otherwise the predator pack is growing on me.
