Mini-Me. Don’t ask why we named it that; we were just having a
little fun. But like its Hollywood namesake, the thing that makes
this pack unique is that it has all of the hallmarks of its larger
brethren, distilled into a tight little unit. It’s a pack whose looks
will deceive you.
The
Mini-Me is a hydration pack but more; this little baby could rightly be
called the “Transformer.” It has an expansion system that at first
glance looks conventional. Start un-zipping its wrap-around zipper
and you get more space for something long. But when you keep going, you
realize that you’ve opened up a tunnel for the insertion of either our
A1SS Shotgun Scabbard or our A2SS Scoped Rifle Scabbard. Slide in one
of these, and you’ve got a rig that’ll make carrying your gun as close
to carrying a biathlon rifle as you can get without getting the real
thing. And of course, you don’t want a biathlon rifle for hunting
anyway. You want to carry your choice of weapon, an included premium
3-liter (100 oz) hydration bladder, a pull-out hip belt, and a secret
compartment with a deployable Bird Bag inside. All of which you get
with the Mini Me. Other features include full-depth pockets for spotting
scope or tripod, an organizer pocket, grapple compression strap, and
more.
Side Scabbards
and ButtBuckets are sold separately (the pack is a terrific small-scale pack
without them, for general field
use).
Mini-Me.
It's way more than a hydration pack.
A1SS, A2SS or A2LS Scabbards Can insert into expansion tunnel
(A2SS Shown)
Pull-out BirdBag provides 1200 cubic inches of ventilated
storage.
The Mini-Me makes a great ultra-light
bow pack. Mount our ButtBucket to the lower rung of the Padlock
webbing on the side of the pack, and run its Ripcord Tether from the
right shoulder harness, through the upper pocket attachment link, then
around your bow and back to the tether mount... and you're set for
hands-free, easy-retrieval bowhunting!

A
testimonial about the Mini Me from one of our friends at Eastmans'
Hunting Journal:
"I love the Mini-Me for
the day hunting. This is the BEST way to pack a rifle around. It is like
a beefed up gun sling that I can pack knives and my lunch in. In fact
while I was in Canada I sold the other two guys in camp on this pack,
because as we would hike they had to deal with the gun and sling as they
were maneuvering across the tundra and boulder piles. I had the Mini-Me
on which allowed the gun to be centered on my back and therefor allowed
me to be balanced. It is GREAT. My wife used it when we went antelope
hunting and raves about it. It is big enough to pack her essentials but
not too big and bulky. You really have revolutionized the pack industry!
Thank you for letting us be part of that!"
