Has anyone attached a Kuiu pack to an aluminum external frame pack? If not, what type of pack are you using?

I know I am in the "cheap" minority here but this is what I have and can recommend. Pack and bag together can be had for less than $100 .... Not as sexy, but very functional. http://www.alpsoutdoorz.com/outdoorz/products/packs/commander-pack-bag

Wow, that looks nice and the price looks good too..
Is there anyway to just buy the pack I wonder?

I would suggest giving them a call (they are in MO I believe even though the manufacturing is in China
). I know that you can get just the frame with accesories but don't know if they will sell just the bag. You will get an actual person and they were very helpful when I talked to them. I did a pro test for them and after the review and pics got the pack/frame for right at $60!! It was a hell of a deal. I used my buddy's last year to pack out and can't wait to, hoepfully, do the same with mine this year.Anyfish

I have used the Bull-Pac regular pack frame for years with their day pack. I would think another day pack or bag would fit fine. Made in America too. www.bullpacs.com

I have hauled literally hundreds of pounds of meat in a Cabelas pack and frame and have had no issues what so ever. They are not very expensive either.

Ya I was looking at a frame at sportsmans warehouse last night for like 50 bucks. For an external frame it was very comfortable and light. I think it would be great for hauling meat, and with a removable pack it could serve double duty.

It says $189 when I click. Am I missing something?

That is the "suggested retail price" ...:hump: Never at that price...stores, Amazon etc.

You can usually find them even cheaper.

Got to look at one of the ALPS outdoor packs last night in person. Think i'll go in that direction. Looked pretty nice, and huge, for the right price.

looks good for the price. I may have to try one out myself.
I had the frame for a while before I ordered the pack for it. I called alpz and they told me it was$60 for just the bag, I said nevermind I will just order a whole new setup, the lady said.... well how bout $30. OK....lol
I would just call them and see what they say, or order it off amazon.

Does anyone use the Horn Hunters Full Curl pack system? I'm now considering it or the Tenzing TZ600.
I like the modular design of the HH full curl pack.
