Kelty Tioga

[jbseamus83]

Hi Guys. My family is making the move out to Utah this next May, and I am slowly working on gathering gear that I will need for the vastly different hunting and camping that I will be doing out there, rather than in Texas. I have had a Kelty Tioga that I have used a little for backpacking. However, here in TX I haven't had the need to pack meat out of anywhere. I just drive the truck right up to the deer. I was just curious if any of you have had experience with this particular pack as far as hunting is concerned.

- How was it with carrying gear? (i.e. accessibility, dryness, weight)
- How easy were you able to strap meat onto the pack?
- How comfortable was the pack loaded up to hike with?

Thanks in advance for all the answers!

That's a relatively obscure pack. I'd just try it out. I backed several bucks out with a MUCH older frame pack from kelty, and another two elk with a newer (still quite old) internal frame kelty. They make good backpacks. It's just a matter of suck... how much of it can you tolerate.
