- My review of the Eberlestock Just One pack after hiking all over the mountains. The Eberlestock Just One Pack is built around a batwing design with a large central compartment and has many options for accessory packs, duffels, and a dry bag. It is built very strongly and runs just a touch heavier than some packs, but I have not found the Just One's weight to be an issue. My favorite feature of this pack is the weapons carry scabbard. It works well as a day pack but can be expanded to be a very large pack. My kids have used Eberlestock's Just One because it has a large range of adjustability.

Great video. Thank you for the information, I've been debating between a few packs for awhile now. This solves the debate. Thank you again.
That's awesome! Can't wait to here you get back to talking about certain other things!
Back to nature, God speed. Love you all.
Definitely gonna be looking for this pack antelope and deer season not to far off
It’s my favorite.
@@NeiloftheNorthlooks like it might be useful for prospecting too
I like the discussion. Yes, a .270 Win is fine for big game hunting. In Texas, on the drawn hunts from TPWD (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department lottery system) your minimum caliber for whitetail and Javelina and mule deer is .270 Win. Fast enough with a great ballistic performance for hunting Big Bend area as well as the Cap Rock Canyon WMA in the high plains desert near Amarillo. The literature for that hunt advises you will often be shooting at least 200 yards.
My preference is .308 Win. I like the short action and it has the punch of a .30-06 with similar performance to .223 Rem.
Anyway, I already have a backpack, the Alps Commander Z. It is a full frame with folding meat shelf and the full Commander Z bag. And a smidge heavy. And just plain bulky. I used to be 6' 6" but old age and a monument to good eating have shortened me to almost 6' 4". So, still kind of tall and big, averaging 290 lbs in my slippers and bathrobe, using one of those old counterweight scales gifted to me by a doctor friend. Hiking through the overgrown public hunting areas in northeast Texas, I am literally like a moose in underbrush. It is bulky and even top heavy. It's a great pack, just a bit too much for me. Especially since I live only about an hour from the land I hunt. So, it is only a day hunt for me. I don't need to pack a tent and sleeping bag and mat. Some of the places there have large enough parking areas that some people camp. It is similar to back country hunting. So, you camp at the camping area and then go in the woods with a day pack and whatever you hunt with.
What I do pack is a folding camp stool, Outdoor Edge Wild Pak processing kit and gloves. A gambrel that holds 600 pounds, a log of rope, pulleys, a few logs of paracord, a few garbage bags. Two extra 5 round rotary mags for my TC Compass II in .308 Win with a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24/50 m scope on it. A few bottles of water. Blaze orange rolls of ribbon for trail marking. A compass. And the most important thing, trust me on this, two rolls of toilet paper.
I could stick my rifle in there and I have done so before. And caught every tree branch on the way. Every one of them. So, I sling it around the back of my neck and it hangs in front, battling it out with my Diamondback HD 12x50 binocs. I need a pack that is more compact, yet expandable. So, I have less of a profile. That is, to envision me, imagine our beloved host with about 40 more pounds. A bull in a china shop.
I ordered one, the order got mixed up (on ebay) but getting that taken care of now and it may take another week to get it. Next weekend will be the last of deer rifle hunt in Texas. Which is okay because feral hog where I hunt goes to March 15-ish. Then they close the property for about 2 weeks to remove pressure un time for eastern spring turkey (bag 1 per day) with shotgun upland shot. Which should still fit with Mossberg 590A1 SPX. And upland shot shells.
Great comment. It was educational and made me laugh. The .308 was my first deer rifle. I still have one and so does my second born, and also my friend, who is a trained army sniper. The .308 is great.
Neil you should bring your Bowtech to Arizona here and try to get you a Trophy Coues whitetail deer 🦌 Ill guide you! #3 All time P&Y...We use Eberlestock Packs too #1 stuff...and we shoot PSE bows factory is here in Tucson Arizona.

I need one of those! Hey Neil.. have you seen the Red Camp cook stove? It fits in a backpack. Really cool! I just ordered one! Like 35.00 for the large one. Great for heat and cooking! Thanx for the info!
I have not. I’ll do a review on mine soon, but I’ll have to check that out.
@@NeiloftheNorth yes, please do and God bless!
Dang, Neil! I can't believe how daggum cool that Eberlestock pack is! It's pretty much a modular pack since you can add or reduce the volume to fit you or your daughter, and the Molle system makes it that much more adjustable -again, fab! I'm curious, is .270 Win. enough firepower for Elk, or would I need more cal? Thanks, Neil!
A .270 is fine. Shot placement is the most important. My daughter has a .270 and that is what she will take out west.
@@NeiloftheNorth Thanks, Neil! My Rem 700 in .270 is my favorite hunting rifle, although, I don't do much hunting these days. I actually won a Hogue 300 Win Mag in a raffle at a local shop, and I do not like it! Haha, even with a muzzle brake it's a lotta pow! Thanks again, and we'll see ya on the podcast.
This was great. Felt like I was talking to a friend. Have you had a chance to haul meet with it just yet? I’m wondering how much weight it can reasonably handle.
I have hauled out an elk and a few mule deer. The elk was a shorter haul but straight up and I was hauling full rear quarters from a bull. I found it to be fairly comfortable.
That’s quite impressive. Didn’t miss having a proper frame pack then?
I’m a Midwestern guy just getting into hunting, with aspirations of making it out west. Wondering if it’s worth grabbing one of these or saving for something like the Kuiu system where you’ve got a “150lb” frame and you can swap bag sizes out without buying a whole new pack.
@@americansafarico - Don, if you are going that route you may want to they the F1, but I think this would handle any weight you could carry. The F1 is a better meat hauler than just about anything though.
