looks just like my Kifaru Shape Charge.
Glad you pointed that out. We love Kifaru & Eberlestock & Mystery Ranch & all the other pack makers out there that we use. They make awesome products and we consider it a compliment to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Kifaru for our first effort at a pack. The major differences between the FAS Pack and the Shape Charge are in the size and organization. The main pocket of the Shape Charge is 2,000 ci. Ours is half that at 1,000 ci. That's pretty significant. FAS pack also kinda goes nuts with our squadron based laser cut MOLLE on front, top, and side panels. That way you can use it however it makes sense to you. That's another significant difference. The way we built our external/side pockets/top lid is also a pretty significant difference.
The similarities are color (they're both green and brown), and a clamshell opening (which a LOT of packs have). Hope that makes sense, Jon! Thanks for the comment.
@@TethrdNation looks like an awesome pack! I was just pointing out how similar they looked. Love my phantom and predator, btw!
I must have one of them as soon as it’s available! That is awesome
This is great! (very excited). I believe that the price will not matter as much as you think. People are very happy with the made in America, and thank you for that.
Thanks Kyle. It was important for us to make here in USA.
I got to handle one of these at ATA 2023. Sweet pack. I am going to have to get one of these some day.
Nice! I see my future Christmas gift. 🤩
It looks well thought out! Once again, great job guys.
Well so much for paying the gas bill this month 🤩
FAS pack > Warm house
If you’re prior Military just add the “Molle II Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment Waist Pack”. It has large waist strap buckles.
FYI Tethrd this is something to look into!! I use it to hold my sticks as well.
Great job guys, as usual, setting the "new bar."
Thanks Dave. You Rock.
Took a lil bit to learn how to attach everything but once you learn it great pak. Customer service responds fast. For waist belt fans the size of this i believe would make it a chest strap. Dont work with this style n i believe dont need. I like the sleek fast design.does have a strap to keep straps on shoulders.
Looks like a smaller version of the kifaru 44 mag.
My Badlands pack that I scored for $200 about 5 years ago is on its last leg. It wasn’t the most high-end bag on the market, but reviews were solid, the construction looked above average, and I can say that after 4 seasons of whitetail/turkey hunting with about 60-70 days afield that Badlands pack has done its job and will live on as a scouting/hiking pack for years to come.
But now I’m in the market for the next level bag…
I’ve had my eye on a few bags lately, but as a saddle hunter who happens to use all Tethrd gear… this is looking fantastic.
Hope to see the Tethrd folk back at the Great American Outdoors show in PA this winter. If so, you’ll likely get my money. Bag looks great.
We'll be there.
Great job guys. Tethrd setting the bar once again
Great pack! But there's still a market for a smaller simplistic pack for a one sticker. Maybe around a 500 cubic inch. But I like individual pockets and bands to hold my gear. As long as it's usable. Places for tree saw, bow holder arm, calls, kill kit, ranger finder, scents etc.
Great looking pack. Looks almost perfect. I'm 50/50 on the waist belt. I know a lot of people are shocked it doesn't come with one but, in my experience it tends to get in the way when trying to haul up a tree. But would be great fr hiking in. I also dislike a ton of wait on my shoulders. In. perfect world a removable wait belt would be amazing, but when the pack is already at $400 (not including the predator pack). I'm sure a waist belt would have jacked the price even higher out of the majority of hunters budgets. As far as the price, I almost choked, cried a little and closed the browser. I wont hate on it thought. They set a goal to make it American made because that's important to them. Props to Tethrd for that. Unfortunately very far out of my price range for the foreseeable future. This would have made a great deer & turkey Hunting/dayhiking/photography outing carry on backpack. Maybe one day.
Great Comment!!! Love your perspective. The waist belt...we tested FAS Pack all over the country and we never needed one. We designed FAS Pack to wear high on your back so it doesn't get in the way of the Phantom saddle on your hips...which made the waist belt kinda pointless. However, you can add one (from the compression kit that comes with the pack) if you need it. We figured that was the best of both worlds.
would love to see a waist belt but still looks great and very versatile
Looks great guys. Well done!
Can’t wait to make the switch to this pack. Ready to do a full build out.
Received my FAS PACK and absolutely LOVE this pack it's exactly what I have been looking for. I have purchased over a dozen other packs and a multitude of accessories trying to come up with that perfect pack for saddle hunting with no luck until now. Please keep designing top notch products for the mobile hunting world.
I have two questions in regard to this video you show 4) different pack configurations sitting on the table from left to right you stated the second one which is Ernie's what bag is on the front, also on the forth pack with the predator pack on it what bag is on the front of that one. Please let me know so I can order one of each to play around with how I want to set up my FAS PACK.
I'm not sure if yall are already working on it but I thought I would add some feedback. For those of us that don't run the predator platform/pouch it would be nice if yall could design a storage pouch compression panel that attaches the same way as the predator pouch. This would also alleviate the problem you speak of in this video of it not being a 4 season pack. I could see myself running it for 3 seasons without a compression pouch. Then add a compression panel to store/compress large outer layers. Just a thought. Thanks
Looks awesome. My predator pack has a couple light pouches and a water bottle pouch hanging from it. It's caused the strap/hook that keeps the platform compartment closed to come nearly un-stiched. I added the nicer shoulder straps. Those connection points are coming loose. It'll just take a bit of sewing to repair everything, but I'd have hoped it would last longer than 2 years. Let's see some videos on construction characteristics for this one. That'd really help me make a decision on buying one.
Shoot an email to the CS team and they will hook you up. We had an issue with some of the Predator packs with the tab loops coming out. The FAS pack is an entirely different beast. Made completely in USA and trust me I really think this pack will last forever. It’s extremely high quality! Hope that helps and happy thanksgiving!
That video is posted to our channel as well
Thanks! I'll reach out and hope to snag this pack as soon as it's listed.
Looks like a sweet pack for Sept possibly through October for me here in southern MN. I've wondered with other packs "why wouldn't you just give me some molle in this open space." Wont be saying that with this pack!!.. look forward to seeing the other videos.
Yes!!! Great job addressing and being honest that every product has weaknesses. Over all, I think you have a great product here. I love the versatility. In keeping with the mobility offered by my Tethrd tree saddle, I’m often hunting far from my car. Is there a way to use it as a meat hauler at the end of a hunt? Can I carry both my deboned deer and my gear out of the woods with this?
Working on it. Don't be surprised if you see something like that before next hunting season. No promises :)
Looks like a big pack
Looks like a great product!
This is a knock off of the eberlestock bandit, except 3x the price. WHY?
Always impressed with your innovations, keep up the good work! First impressions, this thing reminds me of my Badlands pack that is also clamshell design with the hanger and that thing is awesome, but it isn't set up with saddle hunting in mind. I might just have to get one of these FAS packs!
Get one. You know you want it.
Of course I had to get the transfer pack last month ..could have given me a heads up lol
I did the same thing lol
Oof kifaru defiantly going to address this . Almost a direct rip off of the shape charge
We love Kifaru & Eberlestock & Mystery Ranch & all the other pack makers out there that we use. They make awesome products and we consider it a compliment to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Kifaru for our first effort at a pack.

For all saddle hunters, doesn’t have a place for sticks, I’ll stick to eberlestock lol
Amen!!!
I can wait to put my hands on it at the Iowa Deer Classic. That is, i am assuming you will be bringing it.
Yup.
I’m definitely a critic of some of y’all’s products this pack definitely something I’m interested in but the made in 🇺🇸 is definitely a factor for me $$$ don’t really matter it’s about bringing work back home so I’ll definitely be looking in getting one of these but for the price it definitely better be mostly made It the USA 🇺🇸 and how much is the people making the product making is definitely a factor they need to be compensated well to continue making a quality product
100% designed, engineered, and made in the USA. FAS Pack is as American as Abe Lincoln. Can't beat that.
Please do video on how to attach everything. Not really easy as stated lol. So many buckles straps. I personally need to know how to attach predator pack. Thanks
Nice!!!!...
Love the design, just bummed it’s Cordura. I get it, some people abuse their packs. I just can’t imagine why a whitetail pack would need to be THAT durable. I’m sure I’ll end up buying one just to try it out anyway 😂
We had this discussion many many times. We kept coming back to this idea: to make this pack in America it was always going to be really expensive compared to packs made overseas. That's just a fact. And to charge $300+ dollars for an American made pack, we felt like were doing a disservice to the customer if we didn't make it bomb proof. Can you imagine spending $300 on a pack and then the fleece rips the first season? I'd be pissed. We didn't feel like that was acceptable. That's why we chose Cordura. BUT we totally understand where you're coming from.
Interesting design decisions. You can really see the team’s love of Kifaru and the eberlestock bandit.
Mention of the “compression kit” makes it sound extra $. Also looks like no hip belt for heavier loads. Does it accept a hip belt for lumbar support?
It’s a backpack… you can only do so much with it. Is it similar to a bandit, sure. But with quite a few added features that the bandit doesn’t have.
You can install a minimalist waist belt on it if you’d like!
@@andrewblair63 it’s not a knock. Just an observation. I know some of your team were big bandit fans as well as the smaller kifaru packs.
Does it come with compressions straps for compression and hauling gear?
Looks like a Kifaru Shape Charge knock off. I told Aaron weeks ago that the Shape Charge with a Sherman pocket is the best saddle hunting pack available.
How is this different from a Kifaru Shape Charge?
Made the decision to improve my pack for next season and boom see this video! Perfect timing! Does the pack accommodate a water bladder?
Yup. Sho does.
I am on a search for a video of someone showing how they attach their climbing sticks to the pack, before I make another purchase. It's a lot harder than you'd think(finding video of the the sticks and pack that is not a custom modification). If anyone has a link or advice on how to see what particular pack (any brand) has a system made specifically for attaching and carrying sticks, please share. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Good brother
So a Kifaru Shape Charge?
With the price of the pack it better walk its self to the tree 😂
When will these packs show up on the Tethrd website?
Launching with our Black Friday Sale, beginning Thursday, November 25 at 11pm EST and running through Cyber Monday at www.tethrdnation.com
How much?
$399.99
Wwn IA it come out
Looks like a kifaru
And eberlestock, the audacity of these tethrd guys, I swear
Curious if it it's at least made in the USA?
When will this be available on the site?
Nevermind lol I just read your reply to someone else’s question. Great looking product and seems very functional
it's a nice pack, but the price is a little high. Just because it's made in the USA doesn't mean it should come with a higher price. It seems to be over priced by $75 - $100. The Eberlestock Reneagade is $249 and the Eberlestock Bandit is $149. Both are comparable and similar pack to the FAS Pack. It has a lot of MOLLE Webbing, but realistically not all of it will be used. I do like the pack, but not for that price. I would just buy the Eberlestock X2 Pack which is $289 and I wouldn't have to add a compression kit.
Great feedback. By the way...the Compression Kit comes WITH the pack now. Nothing extra to buy unless you want the Predator Pack. Eberlestock makes awesome packs. I've owned the Bandit, X2, and Just One Packs from Eberlestock. Loved them all for different reasons. However, I will have to disagree with you about the Made In America price increase. We could make FAS Pack SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper (about the numbers you described) if we made it overseas like Eberlestock does. Don't get me wrong... we make some of our products overseas...there's no shame in that. And we're not claiming packs made overseas are somehow inferior to packs made in the USA. That isn't true at all. But we wanted this pack to be bomb proof and Made in the USA. Unfortunately...that's expensive to make. You also have the issue of scale. Tethrd is a small company. Eberlestock can buy down their prices SIGNIFICANTLY because of their high volume of packs. We can't do that. So when you support small businesses, started by real saddle hunters, like Tethrd, you're going to often pay a little more. Thanks for the comment.
@@TethrdNation I really appreciate the response and interaction. I'm all in for support for small businesses, that's why I buy Tethrd products. However, when it comes to price and something that's comparable, I would pick the cheaper of the two any day. I see your point though, but I don't think you have an issue with scale, just pricing. Tethrd is a well known brand and everyone and their momma buy your products; that's why a lot of your products are always Out of stock. The Tethrd FAS Pack is a modular pack that's $350 and If you add accessories, it could easily cost $500 or more, but I also know that everything cost more these days not because it's made in the USA.
Is it 100% made in the USA? I'm not talking assembled in the USA, I mean 100% EVERYTHING in the USA.
Yes. Well 90+%. Some stuff you can’t get or can’t get in such massive quantities here.
I 100% doubt it
Trying to locate it to purchase on the website but I don’t see it.
Not out till friday
@@johnkastner2851 do you know what it will be priced at?
It’s on the main page of the website it’s the home page it will say Black Friday sale on it
Configuration looks great but that quite woods busting screaming zipper makes me cringe. We have to develop something quieter.
Kifaru Shapecharge anyone?
no like the price 😢
I love the feature of this pack, based on the videos I have watched. Looks like most of the design features are well thought out.
Having said that, it will be a cold day in hell when I pay that much for a small day pack. I understand Made in USA has a price, but this is beyond ridiculous. More like price gouging if you ask me.
Hard pass
Fair enough. Made in America is expensive. That's why so few manufacturers do it.
about $200 too much!
So it really took you 2 years + to rip off other companies packs? 😂
Two years and that what you come up with? Disappointing
Everything disappoints you to be fair 😂
Lol...why don't you make a better one? That would make us all better hunters!
