    Who's not using a pack and just pouching everything?

    I went the opposite direction. My whole set up last season was about 14lbs. After spending 5 hours getting a 230Lb buck out, I switched to a F1 frame pack. It and meat bags added about 3.5 lbs. to my set up. I only bring kill kit , thermacell, range finder, knee pads and a drink with me.
