This looks good. I made my own pack like this from an Eberlestock frame, an old MR bag, and NRS straps. Use it all the time for day hunts for antelope and deer.
If you do the no gut method, packing out either meat and/or 1/4's, this pack looks really handy. My "homemade" one has hauled a lot of meat, but it is ornery to get cinched correctly. This Pop Up 18 looks like it will do everything mine has done, only more efficiently. Another new model, the Mule, looks equally interesting - little bigger too.
I've never been a real fan of big MR packs, having used 'em for work. But I do use one of their Hotshot packs for work quite a bit and really like it. This Pop Up 18 looks like a hotshot with a frame and load carry system. Gonna' check it out at MR next week.......
