Re: Eberlestock X3 LoDrag pack **PICS**
I wanted to give a big thanks to Ceylon and Eberlestock. I got a LoDrag and went on a trip to Alaska.
I took the Lodrag with me any chance I could. It is very comfortable and I really liked it. It is a very tough material. I was plowing through bushes and pokies and nasty trees and crap the entire hunt and it held up very well.
I ended up getting very lucky and shooting a big bull moose. Well not really big but over 40 inches.
I could pack about 80 pounds of meat in the pack on the interior and still was able to stuff some more stuff in the gun scabbard.
I packed these packs roughly 1/2 mile through branches and sticker bushes. Pack did great and was very comfortable with these very heavy loads. My legs were buring but the pack did fine. I made 5 trips loaded full of meat.
My partner had an exterior frame pack and did the same. he was complaining that the frame was digging into his hip with the heavy loads. I did not have that problem as the pack was soft everywhere.
It had tons of blood on it, When I got to a place I could, I pressure washed it at a car wash. Evreything cleaned right up. It had been a couple days until that time becuase we were out in the middle of the Denali so it did have some blood stains that did not come out with the water.
Overall, it did great, I will have to say that I did very well becuase I had a roll of twine. It does not have a bunch of places on the outside to strap stuff down. Mainly becuase it does not have straps. Straps would be a good investment for this pack. Maybe 4 and you would be set up. Or like me a roll tieing material.
Thanks Ceylon. your the man, good pick here!!!
If you are looking for a good all around hunting pack. this is the one. Look no further.
I think the GS II is also good but with the added volume is would have packed too much meat in my opinion.
I can only pack so much up a hill through sticks and bushes. FIVE TIMES!!!
