Overview
Built for hunters who need to move meat or gear on the ARK Frame without adding a bag, this load-carrying panel is designed for straightforward pack-out use. It uses Xpac fabric and a strap-and-buckle attachment system that connects to the frame with a girth hitch, with four included straps to secure the load. The sling can ride beneath any compatible bag, and its lower attachment points offer flexibility for positioning the load higher when needed. At 5.25 ounces, it adds a dedicated hauling option without much extra bulk.

Specifications
| Long Description | Made to haul loads on our ARK Frame without needing a bag, the Load Sling is made from Xpac fabric which is not only incredibly strong, but also easy to clean up after a successful pack out. Three-quarter inch autolock buckles and straps feed through the holes on the side of the ARK frame and connect with a simple girth hitch. Each load sling comes with 4 straps, two connected to the top corners with male autolocks and a matched pair with Male / Female autolocks to go around your load. To attach to the ARK Frame: First, unclip the two upper sewn in straps with the loop on the end and pass the folded loop end through a side holes on the frame. Then, insert the male Autolock buckle on the other end of strap through that same folded end loop. Pull tight on the strap until the girth hitch is tightly attached against the frame. The 3-bar slider buckles at the bottom of the load sling panel will go into the slots on the frame located right behind the lumbar pad, or can hook into the bottom of the Shoulder Strap tracks (if open) if you need to get your load higher. The Load Sling can be attached to the ARK Frame and ride underneath any of our bags. |

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for the ARK Frame, so it is not a universal load-hauling solution for other pack systems.
- It is intended to work without a bag, which means it may suit load-out tasks better than trips that require enclosed storage or organization.
- Attachment uses multiple straps, buckles, and frame connection points, so setup is more involved than a simple standalone carrier.
- The sling is built around Xpac fabric and hardware, but the product data does not specify weatherproofing or abrasion-performance details beyond ease of cleaning.
