Impressive hauling capability

Being a current owner of a Badlands 2200, I was looking for a another Badlands backpack with more meat hauling capability. I zeroed in on the MRK2.
After purchasing the MRK2, I immediately got to test it out by de-boning and packing out a coues deer in the rugged mountains of Southern Arizona. Following the 2 mile hike back to camp, the pack performed admirably and as I had expected. The MRK2 fit snug against my back and hips and distributed the weight appropriately.
Next, I assisted a family member with hauling out 4 Bull Elk quarters on his hunt, with each trip being 1 mile in length over rocky terrain. The MRK2 performed as advertised and to my satisifaction. Again, the weight was distributed over my hips, fit snug to my back and made the pack out reasonable.
And finally, I utilized the MRK2 to haul out 4 Cow Elk quarters on my hunt, with each trip consisting of 3/4 of a mile over rocky and uneven terrain. Again, the MRK2 was able to handle a maximum load of elk quarters and equipment and dispersed the weight over my hips making the haul as comfortable as could be expected.
What I liked most about the MRK2 was its impressive hauling capability in the field. The meat shelf was the main reason I purchased the MRK2 and I must say that it DID NOT disappointmnet me in any way.
The only complaint I have on the MRK2 is, like other readers have commented, the frame squeaks. The noise seemed to somewhat reduce after I really cinched down the load straps and after using to haul out game meat on 3 back to back to back hunting trips. The sqeaky frame is something that really needs to be addressed by Badlands which Im hopeful will happen.
For anyone searching for a backpack with more meat hauling capabilities and overall storage, I would highly recommend the Badlands MRK2.
