Welcome to today’s video, where we’re diving into the world of Initial Ascent and their game-changing lineup of backpacks. We’re here with Dennis and Joe, the founders of Initial Ascent, who built this brand from the ground up to help both men and women carry heavy loads more comfortably and efficiently in the backcountry.
These packs feature an adjustable torso length, multiple load lifter height options (depending on the model) to ensure the perfect angle, and a unique frame design that moves with you through rugged terrain. The modular system allows you to swap between several bag sizes, all compatible with the same frame and suspension—plus, the bags are removable for easy cleanup after a long hunt or hike.
Join us as we unpack everything you need to know about Initial Ascent packs—from key features to how to properly install a bag on the frame. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this one.
