Hey guys,
Just a quick question for those of you who have own or have had their hands on the TZ TP14 Turkey Pack by Tenzing.
How do you feel about the weight of the pack, is it balanced enough that it doesn't really feel especially heavy, or does it seem like it'd be a chore to lug it around on long hikes.
I'm currently running a Super Elite 3, which weighs around 5lbs (fully loaded). The TP14 is nearly 8lbs empty, so I assume I can expect a total weight around 11-12lbs, which isn't all that much, but everything counts on the long hikes.
I really like the idea of the "kickstand" style turkey vests... a number of times I have found what look like excellent spots, only to be screwed out of a place to set up comfortably for long periods of time. Tree's covered in ants / poison oak / no large enough trees to sit against, etc. You know the drill.
Anyway, thanks for the input.
