I only ask that if someone takes this idea that I get one for free. Also, if you can sew and and want to team up and iron this thing out I'm down.
this on a pop-up frame or made to attach to a frame pack like the F1or M1 frame pack via molle/pals would be a great spot and stalk western bag or a eastern whitetail/tree stand bag. using the molle that would attach it to a frame pack to attach it to a hip belt and shoulder straps it could also be lighter, non-meat hauler for the folks not interested in that feature.
Platform pocket large enough to fit larger platforms like the ambush, predator XL, OOAL, TL mission, etc sideways, but not so deep that the predator disappears from reach. For non-saddle hunting or non-platform hunters this is a large hydration pocket this way your still marketing to a large audience.
Lid when opened via buckles near back (lid zippered on both sides)
Lid attached to shoulder harness if you prefer (adding more padding for your bow if you strap it to your pack, no straps shown, boxes are easy to whip up in cad straps and zippers are annoying)
Main pocket opened (colored squares are sleeve style pockets)
With the lid removed for a lighter/early season setup.
frame and light padding slighty below pack to reduce sway and butt getting hit by sticks like the fire shelter on the fire pack series fix, should aid in strapping down sticks, tripods, etc as the straps are pulling into two panels as opposed to just the bottom panel.
Not that i have been thinking about the prefect bag for a while or anything, my wife has a purse problem and it's cheaper then my pack problem by a lot...

@DanO, tethrd, I am remotely available to help design/inspire packs. I come from a long line of industries that requires packs; combat medic/military, ems, backcounty ranger, LE ranger, wildland fire, citizen that travels quite a bit...please help me and my habit of searching for the perfect pack...I have a (enjoyable, healthy) expensive problem...in fact I have a discontinued hunting bag inspired by fire packs shipping now, and its not a pop-up 18 but if you have one in camo or foliage I'm interested. I really wish the 18 was still in the line up with the updates.
