Errata

Anthony gets a "D" for diploma in Geography. Aneal was correct, Alberta is on the western side of Canada, however, Anthony was hunting east of Edmonton.

Podcast Description

Anthony and Aneal are back together after a couple of early season hunts.  On this episode Anthony and Aneal talk about picking the right type of pack for a particular hunt.  From fanny packs, day packs, overnight packs, to hauling quarters out of the woods.....this episode covers them all!

Show Notes

Anthony and Aneal covered a few different types of packs as well as a few different manufacturers.  Below are some resources for you all to consider.

Badlands - 2200

This pack both Anthony and Aneal use.  Has great versatility as a day pack (hydration, quiet, compartments), but can do the job to get meat out of the woods.  Cutting edge design, and used by the entire BowCast team in the field.

Mountaineering

We talked about looking towards mountaineering gear for the utmost quality for those spike camps that are more than just a couple days in the wilderness.  North Face and Kelty are two manufacturers that have been around, and are tried and true:
