Sitka fanatic pack

[enkriss]

Just found this thread. Can anyone give an updated review? I hunt with 3sticks and predator but may switch to a fourth stick with Built on platform. I'm trying to build the quietest setup possible with hopes of still being able to go in deep.

The fanatic is a quiet pack. A good pack for strapping to a treestand but hauling any moderate weight with it is not one of its pros. Nor is loading it up. You will feel everything in your pack on your back and poking you in the back. It’s thin, unpadded without any kind of frame structure.

Short walks of a couple hundred yards it should be okay but I don’t suggest it for a going deep pack. I suggest something with a frame and hip belt for that.

I figured this would be the case. I may get one still and use it for a short trip pack and I may try to add it to a frame of some sort for the long hikes hopefully this doesn't get too heavy.
