Whitetail Saddle Hunting Pack - One Of Them Gets Fired! Trophyline, Cruzr, Scentlok

[@nickbetts6336]

Hey Bud, great video! I always love watching what others think of the gear. The CAYS has a slot on the back of the pack, just under the shoulder straps, that allows you to add a drop in frame or stay to gain any support you may want. We left this out initially in order to keep cost down for the customers & allow folks to make that choice for themselves. On the bottom of the CAYS we have 2 integrated grommets that are intended for you to be able to run a retractable bow/gear hook through them. When you get to the tree you can simply attach your weapon/gear to that gear hook and as you climb the tree it keeps it out of the way from all of your other ropes/attachments. For this reason, we didn't add stick straps to the bottom. Just wanted to add some clarity. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the info. I ran the cays 2.0 for a month or more and it was fine. Just a few tweaks that was important to my style. But to each their own. Keep it up! 👍🏻

I run the CAYS because it is large and I need the room for camera equipment and warmer clothes that I walk in without wearing. I also use longer, 3 step sticks which fit better vertically on the larger pack. If I attached those at the bottom, I would be a “wide load” walking through the woods. All three packs are great packs and seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. I think it just comes down to personal preference. Great video and keep up the good work!!

Valid points. Thanks

Great review. Im new to saddle hunting. Still looking for a backpack. I would take that trophyline. Better than the walmart backpack I'm using now.

[@TripleRwoods]

Gotta start somewhere! 👊🏻 thank you

Have you tried the rogue backpack from Scentlok? They have them on sale right now

[@TripleRwoods]

I’ve seen one of a buddies. It’s a good looking pack. Price is hard to beat.

Im waiting for someone to invent a perfect pack for saddle gear. Until then i just have backpack straps on my platform and i tie my sticks to the platform. Everything else rides on my saddle or in a fanny pack. I cant believe nobody has a perfect product for saddles yet. That one company is close cant remember the name its iron something but they need to make a 2nd or 3rd version before im buying it.

[@TripleRwoods]

Someone needs to make a pack that you can truly customize and order it like you want. Kind of like a bow. You pick where the straps go and zippers. Etc etc. I would pay premium for that ability.

[@aaronmeeks1155]

The cays pack is built around their sticks so its designed to carry the sticks on the sides

[@TripleRwoods]

I get that. And it works for hauling sticks on the sides and back of the pack. But it still requires taking the pack off before climbing the tree. It’s a good pack. Just think some minor improvements could be made.

[@mikeguy9668]

I agree the trophy line needs support, but the scentlock bag is useless without straps. Having to gear tie your sticks and platform is ridiculous for that price

[@TripleRwoods]

The new one has that stuff. I used this one last year and it worked. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mikeguy9668]

​@@TripleRwoodsyou did what you had to do, I get it. But they didn't think that bag through for the price
