FINALLY A PACK THAT DOES EVERYTHING.
For All Saddlehunters. Packs are so personal. What works for one hunter, might not work for another hunter. We took over 2 years to design, test, and build the pack WE always wanted. The result is pretty amazing and made 100% right here in the USA.
What's in the box? FAS PACK & COMPRESSION KIT
We wanted to accomplish three main things with the FAS PACK:
1. Make it 100% in the USA out of bombproof & durable materials
2. Make it infinitely modular and user-customizable
3. Make it simple & minimalist but with BIG capabilities
We feel like the FAS pack EXCEEDS all three of our goals. First of all, it's going to last a long time. We chose MILSPEC materials and 100% USA manufacturing in the Midwest to make sure it lasts a long time for all of you saddle hunting maniacs. Second, we put laser-cut MOLLE EVERYWHERE. The laser cut is important because it saves weight for the hunter and gives maximum flexibility. You can add pockets, add straps, or add anything you want. The FAS PACK is a blank canvas to fit your needs. Finally, we made it on the smaller side on purpose. If you take a big giant pack to the the tree...you're going to fill it up with a bunch of crap you don't need.
That's the good stuff. Let's do something no other manufacturer does and talk about the tradeoffs with a pack like this. First of all, because we decided to make it 100% in America, unfortunately that comes with Made In America pricing. This is an expensive pack. That's what happens you hire Americans in Wisconsin to build awesome gear. Another tradeoff is the potential for noise. We went back in forth during prototype and design phases talking about materials. In the end, we chose durable, bombproof materials over lighter, softer, quieter ones. That means this pack isn't going to be as quiet as a soft fleece pack. That's a tradeoff we were willing to make. Finally is the size. Since we wanted this to be a minimalist pack on the smaller side, those of you who live in extreme environments (think MN, WI, Upstate NY) might struggle to make this a truly 4-season pack. When temperatures are way low and you need to pack lots of big, bulky, layers, you might find this pack a little too small for that.
That's everything about the FAS PACK in black and white. This pack it totally awesome. We've been using different versions of the FAS PACK for 3 hunting seasons, and it's definitely the best pack we've ever used.

Customer Reviews
The pack itself is very well made. It’s perfect for my intended use. Plenty of storage. Checked all of the boxes. BUT, I was a little disappointed in the quality of the backpack straps. I really think they could do better. I have other higher end packs that have much better straps.
Seems very well made and just enough room for what I need in the stand!
This pack is a great size for quick after work hunts ( 2-4 hours) and all day hunts. I have even used it in the late season here in Massachusetts to carry five sticks, predator platform and bibs and a coat. Although, I wouldn't recommend it for the late season it can be done. The pack is built with quality materials and has a lot of attachment points for compression straps that make strapping gear to the pack quick and easy. The large side pockets are great for carrying quick access items like water bottles or even a trail camera. The side stretch pockets are also great for quick access items like gloves or your gear pull up rope. The stretch pockets can hold a lot and keeps things secure. The main compartment of the pack has a soft lining and multiple pockets that are great for camera arms or trail cameras. I would highly recommend this pack to someone who doesn't like to bring a lot of gear into the woods and likes to stay light. But like I said it can be used to carry more if setup properly with the multiple attachment points and Molle it has. It does have a slightly above average price tag but what doesn't now days. It's made in America so that's a huge plus. Overall it's another great product from Tethrd.
For reference of what I take a hunt with this pack:
Five sticks, platform, trail camera, headlamp, extra batteries, kill kit, two pairs of gloves, puffy jacket, gunt call, doe bleat can, portable charger.
Really surprised not to see any reviews on this pack. It's on the expensive side but seen ones more than this one. For me it's perfect size, not too big or small. You will be surprised what you can get in/ on it. Pockets are deep and all the molle webbing gives you lots of options. Plus with the compression straps that come with it gives you even more. I can get all my cold weather gear in/ on it as well. Grant it my cold weather puffy and outer jacket compresses and packs very well but works out great. I absolutely love this thing! My opinion a good pack is essential and this fits that bill. They put a lot of thought into this and it seems very durable as well. Watch their videos on you tube about it and can get in depth details. Best pack I've ever owned hands down. You won't be disappointed.
