The METCALF is an all-around workhorse, enough volume for more than a week in the field but compressible enough for an afternoon stalk. Built onto our Guide Light Frame™, the METCALF has ample heavy-weight capacity, and the OVERLOAD™ feature keeps bag contents clean when packing out a carcass. With a detachable lid, side detail pocket, and full-length side zip access, this pack is a favorite among hunters looking for versatility and all-around utility.

I was a medic in the army and owned countless mystery ranch bags, and I can’t believe no one ever suggested this to me😂

[@sandratimm5034]

This. Was. So. Amazing!!! To. Me,.It .was. Breathtaking!! Thank. You , Daniel ! Sincerely,Sandy Timm

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Such a nice pack. Someday 🧐

[@Team5TL]

Looks like a cool pack but why would you not make it a roll top closure instead of a draw cord? Roll top would give you far better protection from the elements than a draw cord.

I just purchased a 2021 model and there are differences. Multiple features no longer present on these bags for current models: 00:55 small zipper side bag does not exist. 03:02 buckles connecting frame to shoulder pad no longer exist. Loosening this site is no longer necessary with the new model it seems (bag detaches fine without this step.) 04:14 Second buckle to attach to posterior of bag (when overloading) is now just an adjustment strap instead. The buckle from inferior-position frame to inferior bag still in place.

[@dad3562]

Is it still a good bag you think?

[@TymeTaylor]

I find it hilarious that you're demoing how to use straps to lash a rifle/bow. If someone really can't figure that out themselves, they deserve their Darwin award.

[@mysteryranch]

Thanks for the message; yes, we created this video specifically for this question ;)

[@jameshurd8657]

I'm not waiting any longer...I'm going to get one this week!!!

[@rgalletta58]

You won't be disappointed. The latest version has added features. If your looking for a well thought out and simple pack, you found it.

[@jnichols777]

Bought one of these Metcalfs in the green/gray mono-color & took it bow hunting for 10 straight days in the backcountry. My only recommendation would be to make the straps & buckles a different color from the bag material. Other than that, it seemed like a great pack. One question I did have is why the lid is split into two separate smaller compartments? I wasn't seeing the advantage to that feature, but maybe I'm missing something.

[@jmcb5215]

They do that because having one giant top lid it becomes hard to unzip when full so they seperate it into 2 for easier unzipping. That and it can double as a rifle rest if u have them full

[@Jude107c]

I LOVE IT!

[@tanotano7575]

Excelente!!!

[@drested1793]

Will these frame fit a 23” torso? What is the total weight of these packs?

[@hitmanhartman1394]

Just wondering what the difference is between the normal metcalf and the women’s metcalf? I’m looking to get packs for my girlfriend and myself and everything’s sold out. Tempted on just getting two women’s metcalf’s and calling it good. I mean, if it’s the right size then🤷🏼‍♂️🤔 right?

[@DallasGG]

Curious what rifle is in the video. Great looking backpack.

[@tannerb55]

Ga precision gladius rifle. Right here in beautiful Kansas City.

[@dustincoryn3512]

What bag are you using for the overload sack in this video?

[@terrybishop4651]

Pro tip: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@leoneljosiah2833]

@Terry Bishop definitely, I have been using Flixzone for since november myself =)

[@ArimaKihe1]

what's the name of the Overload accessory/extra bag @0:342?

[@chomama77]

Ok nice bag but some Molly webbing would be huge and a price that is affordable. After you buy one you will be living in the outdoors permanent this beg will get its use haha but gonna have wet stuff. That said what is its waterproof capabilities? It is a canvas or nylon bag so not the best unless you want a soggy scope. If MEC puts Molly web and a couple extra straps they would be untouchable. Like a cell phone lots of cool features but lack with the basics. Price is one of the big misses

[@gtaylor9218]

I found it worth the value. It's the last pack you would ever buy with it's lifetime warranty and generous company policies. Also..it is just built different. So very comfortable with an extremely heavy load. The comfort you have fully loaded is what makes the value exceed the price , for me. Also have the rain fly for it when it's really wet out

[@DecisiveOutdoors]

Does the metcalf come with the lift kit?

[@mysteryranch]

The new Metcalf has the lift kit built in: www.mysteryranch.com/metcalf-pack

[@dereklecount7994]

Any warranty? How much weight can this pack comfortably haul

[@mysteryranch]

We have a lifetime of the product warranty, and we do a repair service to keep in the field longer, check it out here: www.mysteryranch.com/guarantee-warranty-repair. Well, it depends on the persons physical capabilities; how much one can haul. And, comfort at heavier than normal loads (i.e., > 130 pounds) comfort starts to become negotiable; our goal is to make it suck less. Thanks for reaching out. Also, here is a link to the new Metcalf video: studio.youtube.com/#/video/ijf9MrJhFXU/edit

[@dereklecount7994]

Link doesn't work

[@almart750]

Is it possible for a male to fit into a female pack? Asking because I saw that the male had been out of stock through guidefitter for some time so I’m wondering if I could fit into the female version but just choose the size that fits my torso. I’m 5’7” 190lbs so a little on the muscular husky side..

[@almart750]

I would say I’m about 19-20” torso length with a 33” inch waist

[@almart750]

Also, I’m asking about this with the guide lite mt frame

[@clayguinard3651]

How much is this setup and what pack is it

[@USAFTACP]

The 2020 Metcalf with the newer Guide lite MT frame is $499

[@redfox951]

I cant do the nose ring...sorry Bro

[@Legionnaire7777]

Good quality packs but way to expensive to purchase in the U.K.

[@MTwoodsrunner]

buckle, buckle, buckle, strap, strap, strap...are you buckle kidding me?

[@amntnmn7]

more annoying background audio - - what's up with all the poor production? see ya!
