    Where are the Bears?

    Well we took everyones advice on a long walk on logging roads. Didn't know how well it would work with the wind, but somehow we stumbled up on this guy at 3:45pm.

    Where are the Bears?

    Alps Outdoorz Traverse X and Hybrid X

    Alps Outdoorz Traverse X and Hybrid X

    Thanks for the feedback. I decided to rule out the Traverse just because I didn't think the frame looked heavy duty. Now I think Im just going to go with the Commander X. How do you like the frame? Does the job?

    Spotting scope dilemma: 2016 Vortex Razor Model Vs 2018-Newer Vortex Viper

    Alps Outdoorz Traverse X and Hybrid X

    Anybody have any experiences with these packs? I have the PursuitX now and it works ok for midwest hunting. I'm primarily looking for a new pack for a Montana Spring bear hunt. I want a bag that has the ability to carry meat if (hopefully) we are successful. I'm only really looking into Alps...
