Great video. Been listening to your podcasts for about a year now and just now realized you had videos now that you have your own channel. Live and hunt in Mississippi.
Thanks man! We're going to be putting up our old content from past seasons in the next couple of weeks so keep on the lookout!
Great video! Love seeing how people pack their equipment in and out so I can learn.
How tall are you? I have read a lot of reviews that if you’re taller than 5’10” or have a long torso this pack is not comfortable and won’t fit your body.
Thanks so much for your help.
Big fan of the X2. It’s become my go to for anything hunting related. 👍
Same! Definitely a solid choice.
been running the same set up for 2 years now. pretty hard to beat
I got the x2, then went to pack it and realized a flaw...
You have to take the platform out to get to the sticks. I always like to take the sticks out, then platform when I'm to the top. I have a mystery ranch 28 that was pretty decent at doing that
You can just alternate the way I do it here. I’ve actually started doing it that way. Platform in first, then sticks
Should also mention that I’m not putting sticks under the wings now either.
@@SoCoHunt how are you packing your sticks now? Just got the skeletors and fixing to get this pack. You find a better way to pack things? Think that pack would work great for late season, gets cold here in Alberta! Ha thanks..
Could you quarter up and pack out a whitetail along with all the gear you have shown here?
Ryan Windham I would like to think I could figure out how to do it with everything. It’d be tight but I think it’s possible.
Very nice video. I am looking for a pack specifically for my full size LW sticks. What prevents the sticks from sliding down? I see in your video the compression straps, but is that enough to prevent the sticks from sliding down over the coarse of a long walk and bumps and steps?
Your standoffs should keep them from falling out. Just make sure the top one is above the highest strap and you’ll be good to go!
Actually with full-size sticks, I’d put your standoff above the wing pockets and cinch it tight
Thank you😺
great video!
Just picked this up today. Was having trouble keeping my stick and saddle set up balanced. Buy once, cry once
Good video, not enough Protection for the camera for me. What do you do to protect it from getting beat around inside with the base?
Brett Pinkley it stays pretty well protected for me. I make sure the pack is tightened down so nothings moving around in there. This year I’m going to add a hard case since I’m switching to my mirrorless
@@SoCoHunt this will be neat to see, I'm going to try out the lowepro trek 450 aw this year. Just ordered it. It seems like it should be pretty good.
Great video, looking for something to haul my new saddle set up this year.
@@jasonhaga5412 I've really liked this pack man. Seriously one of the best I've used.
I have to have some water to drink and a snack to eat. That's how I pack mine as well
Do you take the pack up the tree with you? Seems kinda bulky for that.
Absolutely take it up with me. It’s not too bulky at all!
Some people complain that it doesn't fit properly on taller people im really interested in this pack but im 6 foot 1 have you had any problems with fit?
I’m 6’. No issues.
Thanks for a real review. 👍🏻
Thanks for checking it out!
Is the pack very loud material I understand there’s a microsuede version as well?
the material isn't super quiet. May be one of the only cons, however I just try to be cautious while dealing with it, like anything else. It's the main compartment bag that has the loud material and I believe it's on all models of the x2
@@SoCoHunt thanks
Awesome video !!! I run almost the same pack and gear ! Waiting on that bigger Tethrd platform 🤪
How is this the material of this pack for noise?
Dangit Kevin you are always sneaking around the same gear that I am!!!!
@@eeoutdoors2622 Lol! Maybe it’s just that great minds think alike!🤔
I would have to agree
Nice video but total weight with saddle would have been much better. It’s fancy packing without a weight,
What's your fully loaded weight on that pack?
It’ll be a bit different now than in this video. I’m now using Tethrd sticks, same platform, lighter camera arm. Idk the actual weight thoughts definitely sub 20lbs
How would 6 hawk helium sticks fit on that pack?
Are they the full size sticks or minis?
@@SoCoHunt sorry mini’s 20 inch
Man I’d think you could probably do it but idk that it’d be all that sleek. I’d try 3 under each wing first. If that didn’t work, you could stack all 6, lay them horizontal and use the vertical straps
@@SoCoHunt thanks
I like your video's but there is some stuff I have to disagree with. 200 dollars for a backpack!? 179 dollars for a platform!? Some of this stuff is crazy over priced.
Frame packs are just not going to be cheap no matter what you’re looking at. This one is actually at the lower end of frame packs. As for the platform, machine cut aluminum is a lengthy process. You can find cheaper platforms but you’re not going to get the attention to detail that tethrd puts into every aspect of their equipment. What you’re also paying for is the fact that they are jumping through hoops to ensure that the product is safe. Numerous in depth testing has been done on their equipment, which is not cheap. Anyone selling you a platform much cheaper is likely not following these steps to ensure the customers safety. There’s a reason business is booming for them for sure. You’re paying for a quality product, through and through. Thanks for watching man!
@@SoCoHunt exactly
Is anyone finding this pack for $199? Cheapest I’m seeing is $249.
When I bought it it was 199. Once they found out saddle hunters loved it, they spiked the price
