Working Class Bowhunter · 788 Saddle Hunting with Latitude Outdoors · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

And you don't need a crazy backpack for that.

Yeah.

Then this whole DIY phase of the saddle hunting came out and everybody was so focused on gear, platform, sticks, and the saddle.

The packs kind of got skipped because you just start using the pack you had.

You had the pack, your box of Bass Pro packs in your garage that you've had for 10 years and

Making it work.

Yeah.

But getting a pack that's designed for mobile hunting, which is what that Ranger 22, that Ranger 33, this Flyer Pack, the Praxis Pack, like these are built, quite literally all of them have some form of metal or carbon support inside of them as a frame.

And what that does is it gives them structure.

And then that structure allows you to attach your gear, which allows you to control the weight of the gear.

So if your backpack does not have structure, it's always working against you as you're walking, you're loading up with sticks, you're loading up with frickin God knows what you're putting in there, your platform, which weighs a couple of pounds, it's pulling against you.

So when you get a pack with a frame of some kind or a hip belt and shoulder straps and load lifters and the Ranger 22 has vertical metal supports inside of it,

you can hunker that gear down to the strongest part of the pack.

That pack's then sitting as close to your body, so you're taking that weight and you're putting it as close to your back as you possibly can to prevent it from working against you.

And essentially what that allows you to do is control the weight, which makes it feel a lot lighter than it is.

It's the same thing as, you know, all these bags are designed for mobile hunting.

So the way the sticks, the platforms, everything that stacks onto it, it gives you a process of putting it on and taking it off.

So when you get to the tree, you have that system.

Everything has a place and it's that same frustration and having a system for speed or whatever argument.

But your pack's the foundation of everything.
