Ladies Back Packs

Paul_Crawford · Sep 20, 2012

Not just for hiking, but for hauling meat out, etc. My future daughter-in-law, Dani, killed a nice 6x6 bull ( See the elk forum), and her brother, Cory, killed a cow. They had a long way to get the meat out. She was using a guy's pack, and it was uncomfortable. Any ideas? Couldn't find anything in Cabela's.

Thanks, PC.

Look for this kelty. It should adjust to her size. This pack is expandable to include bags etc. This is what my wife wears. She is like 5'6 and 110 pounds. She has taken out front 1/4s on several elk while I packed out rears.

There's a million new threads in the elk forum. Which one is hers?

Scott, it's "CO Muzz Bull and Cow". Posted by Kilowatt. I just replied something to it so it's at the top of the first page. Guys, thanks for the help!!! pc

Hey Paul, I've used the Cabela's frame packer, the newer version does have an adjustable yoke. I'll see if I can post up a pic for you this weekend.

Before that I just used my Lowe 3800, again has an adjustable yoke. It worked great, but being able to 'shoelace' a quarter onto pack frame works a lot better for me.

Actually, it's not the Alaskan, it's the Guide, the Alaskan doesn't have the adjustable yoke.

Alaskan:

I started with an Alaskan, but the bottom shelf ripped with a moose quarter.

Guide:

See the difference in the shoulder straps and shelf? Much more adjustable.

Then you add a meat bag, or just strap on quarters:

Hope this helps!
