Mystery Ranch Women's Pop Up 30

Mystery Ranch Pop Up 40
The Pop Up 40 replaced the discontinued Pop Up 38 as Mystery Ranch's whitetail-focused hauler: a 40-liter daypack whose telescoping aluminum frame pops up in seconds to deploy the OVERLOAD load sling between bag and frame. That turns a treestand day pack into a legitimate 80-pound meat hauler without carrying a dedicated frame pack to the stand.
