Mystery Ranch
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Mystery ranch, 1733, topo designs are brands thay offer fanny packs with multiple outer attachment points.
- Most mystery ranch have a middle zipper.
- Mystery ranch is quickly wrapping up the consumer facing division and handing things over to Yeti, so check of them out. Good stuff and many options but pickings are getting slimmer by the day.
- The Hidden Woodsmen, GoRuck, Red Oxx, mystery Ranch, and to a lesser BIFL extend, Deuter.
- I like mystery ranch bags, but don't know if any models fit my use case.
Cons
- I have both an Ospry and Mystery Ranch that are the right size but the shoulder straps are mesh and just way too thin.
- Mystery Ranch. That trwi-zip always looked weird AF to me.
- Any of the companies making packs for wildland firefighters will have packs like this… kind of an oversized lumbar pack. Mystery Ranch, Hill People Gear, Coaxsher, Nargear, Wolfpack, True North, etc.
- Only so long as they exist, which isn't much longer. Most of the US staff was fired earlier this year and it's inferred they will be shutting down completely in the next year or so despite saying they wouldnt touch MR USA.
- Check out Mystery Ranch. Their 3-zip design is divisive but great for access

GoRuck, Red Oxx, Steinkauz, Mystery Ranch, The Hidden Woodsmen: all pretty much BIFL backpacks.

For that amount of gear I’d say something from mystery ranch. Their carrying yoke is fantastic
