Here’s what Tred Barta says about his Eberlestock Barta Stalker ™ pack: 

“Hello everyone, It’s Tred.   Facts talk with a loud, clear voice.  I go places most people don’t go, and I do things most people don’t do.  I take the road absolutely less traveled.  I travel light and fast.  My pack does not just carry things.  It carries the components which can mean the difference between life and death; my life, my family’s life, and if you ever hunt with me, perhaps your life.

Personal Locator Beacon, medical kit, tent, sleeping bag, change of clothes, rain gear, rope, saw or axe, and my bow or gun.  It needs to carry a load yet be low profile for stalking and whisper quiet at close quarters.  My pack needs to be literally an integral part of my body for belly crawling, treacherous mountain climbing, horseback riding, fording streams and literally swimming rivers.  I need to be able to shoot my bow, pistol or rifle with my pack on at any moment, at any time, especially in grizzly country.  If there was a product on the market that worked for me, I would have bought one.  That’s the truth.  There wasn’t.  Now there is.  This is the real deal.  Stealthy, strong and absolutely technically correct.  It is my opinion that no one, at any time, anywhere in the world, has ever delivered a true wilderness backpack of this quality at any price before.

I have got to be honest.  I am proud as a peacock.  Enjoy it.  Don’t worry about wearing it out because firstly, you can’t and secondly there is a life-time warranty.  Keep the wind in your face, fair chase, do the work and do it well.  Never give up and don’t ever say never.

See you on the road less traveled.”                  — Tred Barta.

The poncho/pack cover that's included with the Barta Stalker can be used as  a tent.  Tred wanted a tent to be included with his pack, so we gave it to him in the form of a military style poncho and survival shelter.  The 550 parachute cord that's included in the pack will be useful to an outdoorsman in more ways than we can list, but turning your poncho into a emergency shelter isn't a bad place to start.  Note the pack hanging from the adjacent tree, and how well it works as a pantry for in camp or on-stand use. 

(Note:  the poncho is shown suspended over our A1SM Magic Carpet shooting mat, which also doubles as a ground cover.  The A1SM is sold separately).
