The Commander is my all time favorite pack frame for sheds, I'm an avid shed hunter. I have hauled 100s of pounds with this pack, it's amazing. I also love the Commander Lite for packing out meat, it's super small and perfect to throw a hind quarter or two on your back, you have no pack weight, a water bottle is probably heavier then this pack! They are both super durable, they come with replacement pins, because trust me you are gonna loose some pins! But overall my favorite packs!
