without question the most comfortable pack I’ve ever used. It’s designed for meat hauling so I easily carries a load up and off your shoulders…great pack and great customer service

Nice! It is extremely comfortable which is why I bought it. Occasionally might need to haul meat out but I'm often carrying saddle + sticks + warm clothing and other random shite (pack rat), which without a decent pack can be miserable with just that.

I will likely buy the K4 2200 pack as well. The 5000 is nice but a little overkill in certain situations when I want to go lightweight.

It's crazy how much easier hunting got when I bought a decent pack. I'll never drag another deer out. I fit my whole saddle set up and a deer in my MR Mule no problem. You barely notice it's there until you get over 40 or 50 lbs on it.

Both ;)

But seriously, not cheap but I like supporting companies that make quality products in the USA.

That did occur to me as well, but yeti is also devoted to #1 top flight in quality. I'm sure they'll bring in at least ONE person that knows about backpacking. etc.
