Going Caribou hunting on Adak Island for a week next month. I don't have a framed pack and would like one where the pack can separate from the frame so I don't have to carry my gear with the meat in the same compartment.

What would you guys recommend?  I'm 5'10, 165, 32" waist so something on the not gigantic side

Buy a used Coleman Peak 1 fiberglass framed backpack off eBay or CL.  Throw away the pack bag.  Upgrade the hip belt and straps.  Lash it to the outside of your loaded Eberlestock along with your cloth game bags packed in a waterproof compression stuffsack.  Done.

Eberlestock, If I didn't already have the Warhammer, this is the pack that I would get.

Stone Glacier or Exo. Kifaru is good as well. The only other comparable made in the USA bags are Seek Outside. Kuiu's new pack system is decent as well. In all seriousness the first three I mentioned are the best available and made in the USA. Have two Stone Glaciers myself

Called Kifaru ready to order, they could not provide a better estimate than 1-4 week shipping lead time so I ordered a Kuiu pack instead. Thanks!

Seek Outside is another, but for off the shelf availability, Eberlestock is a good option.

My kuiu has been good to me.  4 years on it, no complaints.
Bag was made in Vietnam, carbon frame here .  Best pack I’ve ever had.

Call. Bet they will get it to you within a week. I didn’t need mine fast. But it shipped in 2 days

Another vote for Seek Outside.  I would call and find out availability...

Search “kifaru insiders” on Facebook and snag a lightly used one. You won’t regret it, they are all I own and probably all I ever will own.

3.5 years ago I bought a kifaru pack, 2 years ago a friend and I went to the mammoth sniper challenge, a few weeks out we decided to get their gun bearers to make strapping our rifles to the pack separately. They have a few models and we both ordered different ones. We liked the bottom half of his and the top half of mine. I called kifaru the next day to see if we could buy those parts separately and got Aron Snyder the ceo at the time, now the owner on the phone. Explained what we wanted and what we were doing. He was adamant that they would send them to me at no charge, hell of a guy. Between the service and how amazing the packs are they can’t be beat.
