Eberlestock "Just One" Pack
Hey guys!
Do you have any experience with the Just One backpack from Eberlestock? I'm considering buying one, but wanted to check around before taking the plunge...
I want to use it for backcountry hunting...

I have no experience with it but if I needed more than just a day pack or was doing some back country hunting or hiking that pack is in the top 3 of ones that I would get.

That pack looks pretty cool. I considered it before I bought my Badlands 2200. I have heard a lot of good things about both companies, and I decided that the Badlands pack was more practical for me right now. I love the pack though and would recommend it to anyone.

Depends on what kind of hunting you're doing and if you're going to be quartering your kill and packing it out in it. I just boughtthe smaller two pieceeberlestock which has the quick draw feature for carrying your bow. Very well made pack, certainly better than any camelbacks I've had (and I've had a lot of them). For me, my primary game is elk and unless we're damn lucky we quarter them up and pack them out.But we generally go back to camp for pack frames and one internal frame pack for loose meat. Internal frame packs can get real nasty after you pack out a few animals in them unless you're diligent about cleaning them out.
Being a former eastern whitetail hunter from Michigan where you generally have pretty good motorized access to kills and can take them out whole, I would go for a smaller pack like I have.
The just one to me would be for serious backcountry hunting in the rockies.. but then it might also be good for packing in a tree stand elsewhere. Point is I guess Eberlestock makes some well made packs from what I can tell..
Saw this on sale on Sierra Trading post.. looks like a good price

Hey Josh! Did you read the chronic of my 1st time backcountry hunting? Man that was a long day...Anyway, I will certainly check ou the Commander pack
Fish, I only hunt public land here in Northern CA, so yes, I do try to go deep into the mountains so a roomy pack is a most to carry my gear and, with a blessing, the meat!
