Reviews

And the kitchen sink

"I purchased this pack for deep hunts in the Adirondack mountains for whitetail. Check the picture. What’s in it? So far 2xl pyre bibs, 3xl pyre jacket, bonfire neck gaiter, latitudes entire lonestar saddle kit, platform saddle 4 sticks knee pads the works. Grunt calls knives, rubber gloves. 6x8 tarp. Extra rope. Extra socks. Gloves. Orange stocking cap. Lighter, license, flashlight, game bags. I was worried this bag wouldn’t hold my clothes for the long hike in. But it all fits with room to spare. Easily fitting a caped buck and all the deboned meat in it with the extension."

— Kendall F. (5/5)

Great and comfortable! But…

"Pack is great and comftorable. Took it on a 8 mile hike out in Trinity looking for blacktail with about 40-50 lbs in it. The only issues I have are I wish the bottom of the pack had a way to gain access so I don’t have to pull everything out to get something from the bottom. My biggest issue is that it is very squeaky. I have to posture certain ways to minimize the squeak when I’m trying to be quiet. All in all I’d still recommend this pack for a day or a 1-2 day pack in."

— Austen P. (4/5)

"Great quality bag can't wait to use it on my elk hunt"

— Troy (5/5)

Great salesman

"Purchased this bag from the Colorado hunting and fishing expo, salesman went above and beyond, I definitely appreciate thr attention to detail and when I received my order I was more pleased to say the least Thank you 👍"

— Steven B. (5/5)

"Great pack! Lots of good pockets and the meat shelf is super handy!"

— Rick M. (5/5)

The pack is amazing and hauls everything

"A very well made pack!"

— Chad (5/5)

I don’t hunt big game with out it

"I’ve packed out three bucks with mine and it’s still holding strong as the day i got it."

— Wyatt Y. (5/5)

Compact Design

"Like all, Badlands Packs, the Mrk 2’s fit and finish is top-notch. Designed to conveniently convert from a day to a meat pack. Rugged yet light. Only two negatives; doesn’t have exterior scope/tripod pocket and the belt is too narrow for my 34” waistline. Even though the belt is expandable from medium to large, it still have big enough. It would be nice if Badlands offered an option for a larger belt. , so that one can add their waist-belt pocket, alone with a holster."

— Joe L. (4/5)

"Love it. Great pack. Still in the honeymoon phase of trying it out but like it so far!"

Good pack that could be

"Good pack that could be better with a waste strap pocket on each side."

— David M. (4/5)

Q&A

Is there an area to carry a tripod on or inside of the MRK series?: Bill, there is not a designated place, but I personally run my tripods down either side of the MRK2. Put the feet in the elastic pocket and strap it in with the compression straps!
Are there smaller zippered pockets on the inside internal storage of the main pack?: Duane, there is one small zippered pocket that hangs from the top of the pack in the main pocket.
Can the pack be removed from frame ? Thanks: Andy, the packs cannot be removed from the frame in the MRK line.
Do you make any accessories to attach to the MOLLE waist belt? I do not see any on the site.: Michael, we do make a few pockets for it and are getting them on the website shortly!
