WITH EACH BADLANDS OX PACK PURCHASE
Badlands OX Pack
Let's
do the numbers. The average external frame (this is just the frame)
weighs nine pounds. If you want to throw down and add a pack bag to
that, you come out to about 17 pounds. Add your gear to that and you are
a calorie-burning machine.
Now
let's try the OX Frame at one pound, nine ounces, add the Cadillac of
suspensions and a built-in meat bag at two pounds ten ounces, and the
pack at four pounds, two ounces. Bam! You have been transformed into a
lean mean hunting machine for a total of 9 pounds, 3 ounces.
Technology
has one purpose and that is to help make the experiences we have in life
more efficient and enjoyable. The world is chalked with inventions
that "worked better than nothing, but didn't really work." That is
about the only way there is to describe the old EXTERNAL FRAMES, which
have been ruining people's backs and littering spike camps for years.
The long
and short of what we have found is it all comes down to physics.
Oh, and gravity and weight and flexibility and strength and comfort.
However, once you fix those issues, those old frame packs aren't half
bad.
From our
perspective, The OX begins a new era of possibilities where a hunter can
carry enormous loads through the roughest of terrain and the only
worries they will have are bad knees, permanent lung damage, the
occasional bear mauling, and the possibility of falling 2,000 feet to
their untimely death. These truly are the golden times.
What makes
all this possible is a new concept called "thought" a by-product of
which is called "Pack Forward Technology." With traditional
external frame packs once you take some foam and mesh and attach it to a
metal frame and then attach a bag, you have pushed the weight so far
away from your body that you spend half your energy just trying to stand
upright.
However,
by taking the pack which contains all the heavy gear and pushing it
directly against your back while taking the super light weight frame and
moving it back, you end up with a load carrying device which has the
center of gravity of an internal frame but the strength of an internal.
The combination is unbeatable!
The OX
is made from ultra light, ultra strong T-6 aircraft aluminum. It
has zero welds and can be broken down in the field and tucked away into
the side pockets of the pack. Or if you prefer, you can take off
the pack and just carry the frame.
