[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good morning! I'd never seen those vest type before. They look handy really. I couldn't find it, but I have another one too that is lighter weight. Kind of Carhart brown canvas.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning!

[@Ken-o2d]

​@@MuskratOutdoorsI see you have a plastic toboggan you put skis on. I have one just like it. Skis hand up with a big load of woof traps but the brider 9 s and a drag and stuff just to much to carry. Don't like leaving to much sign. I spray the skis with yote piss

[@RJJ6129]

Holy backpack Batman! I really like what Cindy has made with those , pretty ingenious.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It does look good....I probably won't get it back!

[@dlansburg2673]

The packs hanging off of jeeps are quite often used as a place to carry trash,trash-a-ru is actually a name brand for these packs,thanks again

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I didn't know that, but it makes sense!

[@timberdrifter8225]

Those packs are really neat. I enjoyed seeing your collection. I dont see those old frames here, or I'd buy one to try out. Ive been using a surplus German rucksack for 20 years but its got so much wear on it that im starting to sew up next to the spots i already sewed up. Been looking for something else about the same size and configuration. 1 big main bag with draw string closure and a waterproof top flap that actually covers the whole top. With a pouch on each side big enough for a large water bottle and an open space or tube behind it to slip an ax handle through. I dont like any of the modern stuff with zippers and way too many compartments. Padding all over them, yuk. Cant afford the Duluth packs with out selling a kidney or some guns. And that aint gonna happen. So i figure im going to have to make my own.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! I really like the "Trapper Nelson" pack boards. Some have long pins that hold on a removable pack bag. I was thinking about making one also. It's funny how the computer that isn't watching you, is watching you. Suddenly, I'm getting a bunch of backpack ads on mine. I looked at some really flimsy nylon ones this morning that ranged in price between $200-$650. I don't think I've paid more than $30 for any of these.

[@IdahoHillbilly]

YOU NEED TO CASH IN SOME!!!!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I was thinking so too. This Winter, I want to try the ebay thing again.

[@kevinkline6835]

Good morning and many blessings. Yes Gary you're a Backpack hoarder. But nothing wrong with that. As long as it's ok with Cindy. LOL The "Pack mount's" are awesome. I've been getting rid of my life recently because it's all in my daughters basement. We came across my backpack I used in the late 70's to hitch hike to Washington State from Colorado. I did it twice. Once alone and once with a friend. I was happy to hear my daughter say "Keep". Thanks for the video Gary. You and Kevin have brought back fond memories that were lost until now. You all must be amazing people to have as friends. I wish the best for you all.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning and thank you very much. Stuff like that is just "Stuff", or even "Junk", to other people, but to those of us that used it, it's packed plumb full of great memories. It's kind of strange how something that is worth nothing, can be priceless at the same time. I'm glad this made you think of those things again. Yeah, I wish the Wilderness wasn't in between us and Miss Kitty & Kevin. We don't live very far away from each other, but getting there is a 7 hour drive. We could have some great adventures!

[@darreldwalton8763]

I got a passel o' kids and grandkids that come huntin season, are sportin packs, and tents, and sleeping bags, and rifles and fishing tackle that they "borrowed" from Grampa with a solemn promise to bring it back when they're done. Guess most of em won't be done with it till well after Grampa's gone. Hell, how much stuff can they jam in the box with me when I get planted, after all? Take er easy!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Exactly! As long as they take care of it, and it actually means something to them, that's a good thing!

[@Johnathan-ib3qh]

First, ty sir! The title made me laugh so hard. Then you scolded us who agreed with Cindy. I do so appreciate the chuckle. Made me smile and laugh. But she sure made it look good. I agree with never too many backpacks for a trapper.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

HA! Thank you! I gotta pretend to put up a fight, or she will steal all of my cool stuff! HA!

[@ImixSpb]

GOOD MORNING GARY AND CINDY. VERY LOW ATTENDANCE AT GUN SHOW WITH LITTLE CASH FLOW.HAD AVERY PLEASANT WEEKEND .

[@StevenMMan]

You can NEVER HAVE TO MANY GUNS! Wow that's a couple more 🎒 than I can carry at any one⏲️. These days as bad a back 😪 I have I'm luck to get more than a couple miles empty. Iffin a miracle happens than I mayhap need to become the ol mad 😠 Jack, with #7. Wait by now it could #12😮. Back in my past even with 🐎's my 🐕 would also pack. Mostly there own food, but pack none the less. Don't believe I ever owned more than two human packs at any one time. Usually a soft back pack, and a pack frame easy changed. Today I still have two but both are soft used mainly as day pack carrying enough for three days if necessary. One of which I really don't understand why I keep it. It only hangs off one shoulder that I used a lot to bow hunt elk n such. However Today it's hard on my back so left home a lot. 🔫 collecting is another thing. Mountain man

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I use mine more for storing hunting gear in now. I like one for deer, another for elk, another for coyotes...that kind of thing.

[@cliffyarboro1163]

Awesome job Cindy that back pack looks great you are an artist sure looks better than it did before, but I do like those backpack mounts brother they are cool, keep him straight Cindy yall have a good day👍👍

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Thanks! Yeah, I would like to have one of those mounts done, or try to do it myself even. For one of those, it wouldn't have to look perfect. I really like that bear one. Doesn't take up as much space as a regular mount would either.

[@knoxmotorsports]

Good morning its just about hunting/trapping season ,I've been Oregon muzzle loader elk hunting since Aug 1st but it's been very challenging for me after having Major stroke in 2021 impaired vision and wore out body .makes it really frustrating have good day enjoy your good health daily

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Good Morning! Sorry to hear that. Ya know, the older I get, with a replaced hip, and two bad knees, I realize that it doesn't matter if we bring home anything. What matters is that we are getting out and enjoying life. Good luck to you, but really, you have already won!

[@jimmywood7817]

When you pulled out the toilet paper 🧻 I got to wondering if you're the guy chitin along Hillbillies fence line. Lol

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Ha! Nope, I cover it up! I can't believe how many people don't know how to flush a "woods toilet". I don't find near as much of that here. Watching his video today.....disgusting! He was saying there was a lot of hunters there too. I haven't seen many here at all? Then I got to thinking, he is North of Boise quite a ways, but close enough for those folks to go there on the weekend to hunt. We are farther from a big city like that, so maybe that's why? Rifle season, there's a lot here, but they stay and set up a camp.

[@BasedCowboyGun14]

Hunter orange telegraphs your position way too much for my liking. Not for the deer or elk, that is, but for the game warden who’s having a bad day and just wants to pester you over something.

You do have a lot of nice packs. I agree with you, something you like you can't have too much of. Have a Blessed Day Y'all! Justin

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It happens a lot! (The guy looking at you through his scope) I think that orange is a terrible idea. Mostly, I use these bags and packs to organize my hunting stuff. Kind of a hunting "bug out bag". It's great to grab one for whatever I'm after and go.

[@virginia7191]

Looks great Cindy! With all of those packs, I’m surprised you would miss ONE! 😂 Have a great day!

[@papafrog777]

I love Patrick McManus books. I have several a break them out occasionally and reread. Funny Funny stuff.

He was great! You could think ahead reading them and know what was coming, but the way he wrote it was so much funnier than anything you could imagine! He never got the credit he deserved! One of the best writers of our time I think!

[@danielkillgrove1449]

I would consider the vest you have a turkey hunting vest. All the pockets are for calls and GIZMOS. I have a few gizmos and I would guess you have a "couple".

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I bet it is? I don't know, but it looked handy. I have another one too that is Carhart Brown canvas. It would probably be better for trapping stuff really.

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

Old canvas bags the paperboy used are nice for packing out meat. 1 on each side for balance. That's my favorite. Interesting packs Gary. Cindy is pretty gifted at crafting 👍. You may want to invest in a good lock to protect your cache....take care folks.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Horses and Mules are the way to go if you can. Back packs for meat work well, but riding a horse or even a 4 wheeler is sure easier!

I saw that pack board mounting idea last year on KZbin somewhere. There’s a company that sells something similar on the web. Looks neat if you ask me. Quite the collection. 👍👍

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I really like the back pack mounts! Even a small 2 point deer would look great like that.....ducks, it doesn't matter really what it is. It's a mount that brings back good memories, not a giant trophy.

[@frankmonroe8320]

I've had quite a collection over the years of surplus gear. I agree we'll made. Back pack rat!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

It's great stuff! That old surplus Army stuff is much better than the new stuff today. It's funny, they say the computers aren't watching us....well suddenly I'm getting lots of back pack ads on mine. The prices are anywhere from $200-$650 for titanium frame, nylon backpacks that have no class in my opinion. I don't think I paid more than $30 for any one of these.

Good morning Gary. I just want to say that it appears you have quite a collection of backpacks. That being said, the pack in question was a real beauty. Even though Cindy turned it into a work of art and it looks amazing, there has to be an exchange. I think you should get to use her meat grinder for grinding mice again. You folks have a good day!
