Longbow or Metcalf? Need help deciding, especially now with these load extenders for the longbow. Mainly use for a day pack, we usually set up a spike camp and hike 3-8 miles returning at night. 2-3night bivy at most, as I have a different pack for longer hunts. How is the metcalf for a day pack? Anyone have any pictures with it and just your day pack setup? Thanks!!!
If you watch the AK bear hunt tonight, you will see a Metcalf employed as a day pack. It goes very flat and works great for that purpose, in addition to having room to haul enough gear for a few days in the hills. I will be using it next week for a three day spike camp hunt for elk here in Montana. I will carry my camp, then unload and setup a spike camp, then use the Metcalf as day pack.
I have used my Longbow on all the archery hunts this season, as they were all from base camps that I did not have to hike to. Longbow works great for a day pack, but I would not use it for a multi-day hunt.
Frame extensions are not needed for the Metcalf.
When are where do I watch the AK bear Hunt??? Would love to watch it!

Is that the 4 or 6 inch extender?
It is a size large (4"), but it measures about 5 3/4" above the top of the NICE frame. It does stick up further than I expected it to. I would think the XL (6") extender would extend WAY above the top of the frame. I'm 5'9" for reference.
In going back and looking at Brandenbowhunter's pictures, I feel like mine comes up a little higher, but can't tell for sure from the pictures.

Maybe they accidentally sent you an XL? It does look like it sticks up further than the L on the Mystery Ranch website.
