ULF Pack

[Kodachrome25]

Hugo Zhang of Chamonix uses a really nice pack that is from an outfitter company I do believe and seemed to ride well with his 16x20, I wore it and it was pretty nice in terms of comfort, very well built. The material was heavy pack cloth and would likely be fairly waterproof when wet due to expansion.

I will update with the name of it if I can but if not just drop Hugo an email and he will be happy to oblige the info. I recall it to be in the price range of $225-$250 all in.

this may not fit 8x20 cameras but a good pack nonetheless. I imagine they might be able to make a custom sized one if asked and willing to pay extra.

I think this will fit my 7x17 horizontally on the bottom with a pack of holders above. The price is nicer than the other MN supplier. Line it with poly foam perhaps.

Then I need Drew's ultralight collapsible tripod.

I never liked a backpack. In the city and woods you are a clumsy mule. Yes, one does have hands free to grasp and fight, but getting it off fast is tough. I always want my hands free and ready. You only need to lose one battle.

I use an 80ltr Black Wolf backpack for my 7x17. It's one of those that zips right around for access. Easily fits the camera (Korona), 4 holders, 3 lenses, the extension rail and a Blackjacket. Easy!

Which one? They sell many.

Randy, for 717 I'd recommend an MEI pack. I use one for my 8x20 and have room for a holder and lenses. You have to find them used on the bay or Craig's list but they are great. I have three of them.

Frost River is the company, 'Lewis & Clark' is the backpack....

The one thing at least for me that I did not like about Hugo's pack is that it seemed heavy when empty where the Kondos pack seemed lighter. However it is very well made and looks great!
