High Sierra Foxhound 50 (External Frame Pack)

[Warheit]

Thanks for your input, lucznik!

I went to a consignment sporting goods and outdoors shop today and asked them if they had any packs for sale. I came across an old school Osprey internal for 30$ and a well-conditioned Kelty external for $20. There were a variety of others but those were the two that looked the most appealing for the $ and were in solid condition. Gonna head back after I cash my paycheck and do some shopping. Hope they are still there or more stuff comes in! They had all sorts of useful stuff.

Well I have a $69 dollar camo Redhead that I bought at Bass Pro years ago. It is not too large but it holds everything I need. It hasn't crapped out yet and it has a few miles on it. I dont like the huge framed packs and prefer a smaller lighter backpack. If I had a huge backpack, i would just cram it full of more stuff and it would weigh 90 pounds, and it would probably be stuff that is unnecessary!
I guess if I was going to bug out far into the woods of Alaska for an extended stay, I would want a large pack for more food and clothing items.

I tend to be guilty of that, too. I like a big pack but always wind up with some stuff that looked good in the moment but winds up not being practical or necessary. Some things I keep marking off the list because I don't use it but find it hard to leave it at home because, well, I might. I guess that's why.....

You sure can pack a lot of bacon and Twinkies into that thing!

Excellent. Make sure and do a review for the rest of us.

Hey everyone,

Just was wondering if anyone has heard, seen or found any reviews on the High Sierra Foxhound 50 pack? I've checked on a lot of search engines, but haven't found anything of substance.

Long story short, I plan putting some quality investments towards my travel/hiking aspirations and thought that this seemed like a pretty good deal for the price -- problem is, doesn't seem to be any reviews out there. Having the right pack to me is essential and since I don't have time to get to a good outfitting store in my area, ordering online is going to have to be my way of getting something done.

Any links would be greatly appreciated. If ya'll could help out that'd be awesome. Trying to get the most bang for my buck since their aren't a lot of greenbacks in my wallet these days.

Thanks a lot in advance.

WOOT! I just got one on sale for $39.00!
