The Yukon Bag
The YUKON bag is Back! Bob designed this pack over 15 years ago to fill the gap between the Hunter Bag and the Pinnacle Bag. Drinking from the same glacial stream as its brother the Pinnacle, the Yukon is 10,000 cubic inches but offers a zippered Cordura shelf in the center of the pack for added organization. The access at the bottom of the pack is what makes this pack highly demanded by athletes in the field who want access to their pack on the fly. Whether your hunting Mountain Goat in Alaska, Stone Sheep in BC or Mule Deer in the Midwest, you’ll find any serious hunter wearing a Frontier Gear of Alaska pack and the Yukon gives the hunter all the features necessary to make that hunt of a lifetime come true. Made from 500 Denier Cordura with Dyneema reinforced stitching and #10 YKK zippers, there isn’t a more rugged and reliable pack on the market.
Our Freighter Frame
Over the years we have researched the lightest and strongest weight materials on the planet to construct his packs to stand up against Alaska’s rugged backcountry. Our Freighter Frame is constructed of 6061 grade aircraft aluminum that uses “V” truss technology to prevent frame torsion when dropped and also leaves more room for your head to swivel when glassing the high peaks of Dall country.
We use our custom shoulder suspensions system made of a three layer memory foam for supreme comfort when packing out that trophy of a lifetime. The shoulder suspensions operate on the “yoke” system which allows our staff to completely customize each pack to the hunter, accounting for both height and weight dimensions. The smart, anatomical design gives the user the most comfortable and functional fit, even under heavy loads. We also customize our own contoured “free floating” hip belt with non slip grip to prevent the pack from moving up on down. The hip belt is tapered, meaning that it is wider at the bottom than the top, which matches the contours of the body.
The backbands can be often be a weak link in a pack. When these critical pieces start to fail your body is no longer protected from the frame, leading to pressure areas and rubs. Our backbands are made of materials used in conveyor belts, materials that will not stretch even under continual loads.
Our custom meat shelf integrates the frame in to a completely versatile meat hauler that is a necessity in Alaska’s lowland moose country. From the shoulder suspensions, hip belt, and back bands, nearly every piece of this custom pack is made for us right here in the heart of the United States. The work horse of the hardcore hunter the freighter frame was built to handle heavy loads with ease, from elk or moose quarters to your whole camp on a walk-in sheep hunt the freighter frame can take it all and be back for more.
