The Big Hunt Guys sit down with Dennis Stokes and Joe Elliston of Initial Ascent backpacks on this week's episode. Initial Ascent packs were born out of Dennis’s desire to find a backpack that was comfortable for every body type but specifically for someone like him who was dealing with lower back pain. The guys discuss the start of Initial Ascent, the design of the frame and bags, their unique approach to frame materials and design, and why Initial Ascent has taken off as one of the leading backpacks in hunting. They also discuss backpack fit and what someone should look for in a hunting pack.
