What's Your Favorite Backpack?

What do you carry when you're in the field? $ 500 Mystery Ranch, or $ 25 Wal-Mart special? What's most important to you in a backpack?

After back surgery I decided I needed a new pack and went with an eblastock J34 and love it. Having the built in scabid is great putting all the weight on my hips

85litre K2Hunter.... waited years to find one 2nd hand at price I could afford. have had some stupidly heavy loads of venison in it without issues other than buckling,knees.
I have done one small alteration...moved to mounting points on bar across top so the shoulder straps are about 2" further apart....much better on my fat neck.
have a ploarfleece pikau for day hunts,the strap is old seatbelt material so if shoot animal in open country the strap comes off and the bag goes into gut cavity and strap goes around legs using Alex Gale carry strap method ...sure makes carry out easier and cleaner than the old backpack method ,its a LOT easier on my back,keeps the weight down low,across kidneys,my balance is better..if tip over with carcass ontop of me ,can undo strap and slip out much easier(if youve ever fallen face first with pig on as a back pack yo uwill appreciate this) I can also put 2 smaller animals on straps and carry them both easy enough...have done it with goats and also 2 pigs both about 70lbs each.
if going a bit further and dont want the big K2 I will grab my other old frame pack...great for shooting over the frame when in tussocks sitting down ...

been using a ridgeline gunslinga pack for about 10 years or more.
and a black wolf mckinley 75l for multiday hunts.
considering going to an exo mountain gear 4800 or spika hauler drover 80l, i like the look of the meat shelf.
