Metcalf 50 Pack

Packed this thing for a spike camp early season and it vanished into my pack—that's exactly what I needed. The weight savings alone make it worth it for fast-moving hunts, and it held up fine on rough terrain.

I’ve used it for two hard-day hunts already and the feel in the pack is just right—no bouncing or shifting on the trail. It’s genuinely made for moving fast when you need to cover ground, and the early season spike camp setup has been a breeze.

The weight is what got me—it rides so light that I forgot it was in my pack until I needed it, which is exactly what you want for a spike camp setup. I took it on a quick overnight and it handled the hardest part of the day without slowing me down.
