Stone Glacier Avail 220??

[RyanSoNorCal]

Does anyone know if the SG Avail 2200 is able to pack out much without having to attach to one of external frames? It looks like a perfect size daypack for the type of hunting I primarily do which are day hunts not too far out from the truck. I am going pig hunting out to Lake Sonoma and was hoping the Avail would be able to handle about 30-40 lbs of ham without the Xcurve frame.

Yeah it probably could. I wouldn’t want to do any more than that but it’s regularly 20-25 pounds when I’m walking around and haven’t had any issues. It has some type of light frame in the bag still.

Want to buy mine?

 

[RyanSoNorCal]

I’m guessing you strapped down to the outside?

How much you looking to get for yours?

I love mine and used it as my primary day pack this year. Really hard to beat in my opinion, but would guess with 40# of meat you would end up with lots of stuff strapped to the outside. If I was close to a road, I'd likely just carry the meat out in two caribou bags over a shoulder or in my hands.
If you really want a carry all bag, look at the solo.

I have one its a day pack at most. I did take the bag off and put it on my frame. I just found it a little small on the size or amount of things I was able to stuff in it. It did pack a large mule deer quarter out. Like stated above a do all pack would be the solo 3300.

I’ve used one a lot for a shed hunting pack. Never strapped anything really heavy to it, but love using it for what I have

Just buy a Solo, 3300, R3 or the EVO4056. They will give you the options to be able to use on a extended trip or just a day pack. You'll have the best of both worlds.

It'll easily handle 30-40 pounds, but you won't enjoy it a whole lot.

I've got one and havent packed any meat in it, but I'd imagine 25-30lbs would be about all I'd really want in it as is without frame. Shed hunting, day pack, etc its great and in combination with a frame it would be suitable for some good loads and keeping your gear separate with the meat shelft, but overall I dont consider it a pack I'd use for carrying meat in.
