Frame height at the two load lifters is 25”. The combination of the straight vertical and horizontal stays give the frame rigidity in both directions but it still flexes somewhat and moves with the body. Three flat compositie stays are sewn in at the bottom, middle, and upper portion of the frame. Four round rod stays make up the vertical portion of the frame (two shorter ones on the outside of the frame and two taller rods closer to the center that serve as the load lifter portion of the frame). The frame is composed of lightweight carbon fiber and composite stays sewn into the body of the frame.
The Guidlelight MT is the Mystery Ranch’s load hauling hunting pack frame. Those packs/bags are great for everyday carry and travel, and perhaps short scouting missions, but are not recommended for big game hunting where hunters may be carrying meat out from the field. Mystery Ranch makes, and we sell, within our shop several packs that do not have a frame. The Mystery Ranch Guidelight MT and Pop-up frames are the two options Mystery Ranch utilizes on their hunting pack line. Chris Porter packing out his bull elk with a Mystery Ranch backpack.
