I really appreciate the quality of your videography. I am currently researching Mystery Ranch packs and your review is the best on youtube currently. Sold me on the sawtooth and earned a subscriber!
Great review. Thank you
Hi Scott - Very Solid review. I just ordered this exact pack after watching your review. Watching you load up this pack with basically all the same stuff I use, really helped me understand the packability, features and overall loadout capability. It was also very helpful that you talked about the pack sizing, compared to your approx height and build. I would have mistakenly ordered a large, but I'm only 5' 9" and about 165lbs, so I ordered a Medium. I also have the Beartooth 80, which is awesome, but it's too big for a 1-2 day trip. The Sawtooth 45 will fit the bill for shorter 1-2 day hunts for sure. Thank you so much ! Kenny
Good review. If you properly folded and compressed clothing items you could get a lot more use of the space in that pack.
Good stuff. I bought a sawtooth 45 this spring. I hunt pretty close to home and only head out for a day at a time. It’s perfect for all the gear I like to take along, but still more compact than the old external frame pack I used before.
Thanks for sharing your experience Tony. Glad the Sawtooth is working well for you. Any hunts planned this fall?
Such a good review! Thank you for this great information
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
@@EastmansHuntingJournals was especially helpful seeing you pack it. Thanks for that as well!
Can you review your sleep system? Thanks!
You can use the sawtooth on a multi day cold weather pack guys do it every year at mammoth and other major multi day sniper matches
Done a lot of backpacking and a lot of hunting but never together. Worried about carrying my heavy AR10 on side of pack instead of centered.
Would an 11lb rifle/scope unbalance the pack?
I love my Mystery Ranch gear I really wish they made more than just a couple of military and fire items in the US.
I cant disagree. But I listened to an early episode of Randy Newbergs pod where he had Dana the creator of MR on, he basically said that their production cost would skyrocket and production would massively decrease. To get americans to do the textile work they wont do it for min wage so every single bag would end up being 900-1000usd. Then they would price themselves out of the majority of their market they sell to because most people wont drop that for a bag they use seasonally. It was interesting to hear, sorta similar to Veto Pro tool bags.
@@RagingOatmeal no way they’d be that expensive. I bought a ton over the last 2 decades from MR that were US made. It adds about 25-30% to the price. Their US made stuff now is not that much more expensive. Just price ASAP for example. Lots of competitors can build similar offerings in the 250-400 dollar range.
@@RagingOatmeal even US made 3 Day Assault is only 385 direct from MR. www.mysteryranch.com/Packs/Outdoor/USA-Made
@@jhalscott thats what he haad said, I cant really validate it. Im in Canada where a Metcalf is 645$pre tax. If you feel like finding it I think it was episode 15-25 of randy newberg unfiltered
I'm looking at the "overload" pack (military). I can't tell which one is better? What does the beartooth 80 have over that pack?
Hey @teriyakicat, are you more interested in the Tri-Zip features on the overload or another feature? Most of the military models from Mystery Ranch are designed to be compatible with body armor and have a little more weight to them and features specific to that application. However, the Pintler is the Tri-Zip hunting model that they offer that will work as a day pack up to about three days. The Sawtooth 45 will work in the 3-5 day application and the Beartooth 80 will excel in even longer trips.
I hope that helps, and thanks for watching the review. Feel free to ask any questions you would like. - Scott
Eastmans' Hunting Journals Thx for reply:
Actually I like the Terraframe 80. It seems to have all the “best of all worlds” features.
beartooth is an 85 liter pack, sawtooth can fit 45 liters
You said you wear a size 36. I'm 6ft, 220, with a 36 waist. I am not able to try any of the packs since I don't have a shop local that sells Mystery Ranch. Do you find you are at the very end on the 36 adjustment or do you feel you have more room to spare. I'm in the middle of Mystery Rance's medium and large size. Thanks.
Hey John, there was room to spare. Let me know if it works out for you!
@@scottreekers101 does the medium and large sizing just mean the hip belt? Does the pack change? If the medium doesn't fit, could I buy a replacement hip pad in large from Mystery Ranch?
Yeah Hunting in SOCAL without a full water bladder is like having a 2yr old shoot an apple off your head
Hey Jimmy, we have plenty of water here this time of year to filter. If hunting a new area water goes with us because we won't positively know for sure there is some there.
@@EastmansHuntingJournals foolish to hunt with out water.
how tall are you?
Scott is just over 6' 2". Thanks for watching!
Lol won’t pack water but packs a pillow. That’s funny.
Yea, lost a alot of respect instantly when i heard that
Sorry, just NO WAY I see this pack is worth what they are asking for it.
