    Badlands Diablo Dos

    I run the same pack but I'm not really in love with it. I pack 5 Wild Edge steps inside my pack and attach my Predator platform to the outside. My biggest complaint is I feel the inside of the pack doesn't have much available storage space since the frame pushes the pack away from your body...

    Best Badlands pack for me?

    This is my first year with the Diablo Dos and to be honest I'm not really a fan. The construction is excellent however I feel like the bag doesn't offer much internal storage. The frame pushes the bag away from your back which ultimately compresses the inside of the bag reducing the packable...

    Looking for late season Parka and Bib recommendations.

    Thanks but I think I'm looking for something a little nicer than $20 bibs...

    Tethrd Saddle attachment loop for Predator Platform - for use while climbing

    Yeah, that definitely would work too but I wanted something that could easily be removed without tying or untying any knots and I had the extra tubular webbing just lying around.

    Tethrd Saddle attachment loop for Predator Platform - for use while climbing

    I came up with this simple solution for attaching my Predator platform to my Mantis saddle while climbing the tree. I simply took about a 10" section of tubular strap and sewed on two attachment clips to each end. These were the closest clips I could find similar to what Tethrd uses on their...

    Looking for late season Parka and Bib recommendations.

    I've heard good things about Rivers West gear. Great quality is what I was told. The parka looks really nice but I'm not sold on the bibs. They only have 18" zippers going up the leg.

    Looking for late season Parka and Bib recommendations.

    The First Lite stuff looks really nice. I'll have to start watching for some sales or maybe get lucky and find someone wanting to sell a like new set.

    Looking for late season Parka and Bib recommendations.

    Thanks for the suggestion but I'd prefer to stay away from the hunters orange. I'll check out what camo options they have.

    Looking for late season Parka and Bib recommendations.

    This is the year I'll finally upgrade my late season cold weather gear!! Well, that's what I said last year... Now I really need to make it happen. I'm in the market for a new pair of cold season bibs and parka. I really want something that is warm, quiet, water proof (or at least water...

    what pack for saddle hunting?

    I just received my Badlands Diablo Dos pack and I'm sad to say I think I'll be returning this pack. The quality is definitely top notch however I really don't like the frame system. The frame is intended to push the pack off your back so your back doesn't overheat. It works well for that and...

    what pack for saddle hunting?

    After looking at the prices on Badlands website and comparing them to Amazon I realize Amazon is half the price of what’s on Badlands. Looks like the 50% off deal isn’t a deal after all!
