Many of these are resolved with a tool or other bit of kit you take along.

All of that kit requires a good pack for hauling it around.

ALPS OutdoorZ has an ingenious backpack system called the Hybrid X.

Hybrid X

The name Hybrid X suggests this hunting backpack is a blend of concepts.

Sometimes blending ideas doesnt work out while other times they go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

To me, the ALPS OutdoorZ Hybrid X is an amazing blend of pack styles.

Fundamentally, the Hybrid X is made of two major components: the frame and the pack.

The frame can be used alone or with the pack.

In most cases, hunters will use them together but alter their configuration during the hunt.

ALPS OutdoorZ designed the frame with an intricate, but easy to use, web connection of compression straps.

These straps connect the otherwise normal pack to the frame.

Of course, you’re able to also elect to carry other cargo here.

The Hybrix X pack is large enough for a day or overnight hunt.

It also has a special pocket that works with the compression straps to secure your bow or rifle.

Then, you hike it out.

Its a straightforward concept, and one that works well.

Part of the reason it works so well is the suspension system that helps support the weight.

The heavy-duty frame and and suspension system are well-suited for a long hike with a heavy load.

When weighed down with harvested meat or antler sheds, a pack can get very heavy.

I did mention antler sheds for a reason.
