...are up on their site. The Sawtooth 45 looks interesting to me. Was originally thinking about a Pintler this year.
IMO I’d still go Pintler over the Sawtooth. But that Beartooth has got me thinking it might be nice.
I used a Beartooth in Alaska for our sheep hunt and in Montana and Wyoming for the rifle elk hunts. It will be getting a lot more use, giving my Metcalfs a bit of rest on occasion.

Why? Serious question...

Do you know why they changed the waist belt? Did folks did not like the belt that was initially on the Guide Light Frame?
thanks
How much of an upgrade is the Guide Light frame over the NICE? Scale of 1-10, 1 being buy beer instead and 10 is beg, borrow, or steal to make it happen.
Depends on your intended use of a pack, amount of use, and weight carried. To me, it is a 7-8.

Really? I would have said maybe a 3-4.
What is the biggest difference you see Randy? I’ve both frames and think they are pretty similar in comfort, although I did add the load lifter kit to my NICE after a few years.

The buckles being not compatiable with the older packs seems like a PIA, other that that they look good.
They are always working on new tweaks. I love the waist belt on my Guide Light. I love this waist belt even more.
Randy, I know you tested out the MR Pop up 18. Do you know if they have any plans to add a bow scabbard/straps to the back of the 28 Pack? I see the same potential in the 28 that most others see. It's a primary day/blind/treestand/scouting pack that can be turned quickly into a meat hauler or a back country camp hauler when the occasion arrises.
What were your thoughts on the Pop up 18 you tested?
