Best place to buy a new or used pack?
You could try calling Eberlestock and see if they have anymore "smoke damaged" packs. I bought a blue widow last fall for $150 and it wasn't damaged at all. It smelled like smoke, but I washed it and let it hang outside and it was fine.
Thanks I will.Quote:

I'd like to go to just one pack, but not sure how the BW will function as a backpacking/camping pack. Thoughts?
I used a BW two years ago and my only complaint was that when fully loaded, the weight was too low and far back for my tastes. This may not be a problem for others. Otherwise it is a very solid, versatile pack.
Im getting a new pack and down between the BW and Blacks Creek Canadian..Ever used the Canadian?
Contact Steve Speck with Sands Archery (http://www.sandsarchery.com/Default.asp) for all things Eberlestock. I am very pleased with my BW.
Called them a while back and never got a call back :-(Quote:
