We are finally clearing out our basement mostly old material from my wife's polar fleece business. A few interesting finds...3 Dwight Schuh plastic frames and back packs attached. They have been buried there for years as I never used them. I have no idea if people still use these. Does anyone know what they originally sold for?
Are you wanting to sell them?
Terry,
I have no use for them. I'm only hunting pigs now and small ones at that. My old body won't be back packing for Elk & mountains. Just trying to finger out a price for them.
Jeffrey, If this old mind remembers, I bought mine with the pack and fanny pack for around 70 to 80 dollars when they were new. I still have mine also.
I have one made by Fieldline made of fleece with an upper bag (2500ci) and a lower fanny pack (1000ci) and a quiet plastic frame. I think I paid $70 for it. I used it elk hunting with both bags backpacking or just the fanny pack and frame as a day pack. I used it to haul out boned out elk a couple times.
I picked up a used one for $25 a few years ago, which I thought was a good deal. I liked using it as a day pack without the fanny pack, but now it's mostly used as a weighted pack for my hill workouts.
Thanks for all the help. I'll probably put these up for sale in the classifieds around the end of August as I have my total knee surgery in a couple of weeks and will be rehabbing for 4-6 weeks.
tippit, my mom is 80 and she had here knee replace about 6 months ago and she says its stronger than he other knee now.... so best of luck sir!
When they go up for sale I will take one.
Best of luck with your knee surgery.
I had a new Schuh Pack and I was at the NALS in Oregon in 2018 and the was a gentleman working the shoot there he had one and it was ware out so took his address and gave it to him.
I've had my Dwight Schuh pack for...????? It's so old I can't remember when I got it. Still use it on every western pack in hunt and several times a week during the summer when training for the mountains. In fact just used it this morning for my training hike. It's never let me down although a little more cubic inch capacity would be nice. Photo is from last fall in Utah.
Still use mine for hogs and frame only when packing tree stands around. Went to a larger pack for elk trips. IIRC, just under a 100 bucks about 30 years ago.
