This bag has been an awesome day pack! I used it as a replacement to the mule bag. It has just enough room for an overnight adventure and more than enough for long days. The locking buckles are solid and set the straps apart from those of other backpack brands.
I often use the center straps for securing leg gaiters and my glassing pad. I'm interested to see how the bow carry works this coming archery season.
I wouldn't buy this if I didn't already have the larger Beartooth pack. Go big or go home…until you save up for a smaller day pack.
Mystery Ranch continues to impress me.
