Share your Tuffpak stories and Photos
We’re getting close on our new Tuffpak website and I was hoping we could solicit some testimonials from AR members.

There is going to be a section with customer stories and hunting pictures and this section is where these would be used.

If you have photos or stories that you are willing to share please send to Andy@nalpak.com
Thanks!


You can borrow money but you can not borrow time. Go hunting with your family.

Went to Colorado, fishing, vacation. Packed all my clothes in the tuffpak rods, flies, reels as well. Threw two pistols in there too. Why not? It is guncase after all. No TSA lock means the gorillas throwing bags around cant get in. (No I did not convert mine to a TSA lock. I won't either.)

I have a Pelican as well. I like it, but it does not go to Africa or any other overseas trip. Very good case, but I find the Tuffpak to be way more versatile.

Use the Tuffpak for any trip, local or otherwise that needs 2 or 3 guns. Easy to access guns, they stay protected in the case. It is a brilliant design.

funny story while in Cameroon, I could not sleep because i kept hearing a strange noise in my tent, i kept looking and it would stop finally i traced it to my tuff pak and a mouse had fallen in and could not get in so the airline guys can't get in and mice can't get out

I was enroute to a Spring Kodiak Island brown bear hunt. After landing at Kodiak I was looking back toward the plane to see if my bags had made it and were being off loaded.

It was snowing. The snow was coming from one angle and sleet from another angle. I still don't know how that could happen.

Then I seen a tracter pulling a luggage trailer. It was coming from the plane I flew in on. On the flat topped fender of the tractor sat my Tuff Pak. I guess it was off loaded last and there was no room in the luggage trailer.

I remember having the thought that given the snow and sleet the Tuff Pak would never stay on the wet fender long enough to get to the terminal.

Just then the tractor made a turn and off slid the Tuff Pak which bounced on one end then hit and squirted sideways by one of the front wheels of the luggage trailer.

The driver evidently did not notice it was gone and kept on chugging to the terminal. Someone on foot retreived it.

I retrieved the luggage and caught a cab to the motel where I opened the Tuff Pak and was relieved to find no visible damage to the rifle.

The next day I left the Tuff Pak at the float plane hangar and took the rifle in the soft case to the float plane for transfer to the hike in spot.

Before leaving I locked my return flight clothing, airline tickets home, one credit card etc. in the Tuff Pak. It was the next best thing to a safe.

At the Ugak bay hike in point I fired a couple of rounds from the .375 and they hit right where they had before I left on the trip.

Not only had the Tuff Pak protected the rifle from Missouri to Kodiak Island but continued to do so right to the point of hiking in to camp.

Unfortunately I never fired another shot on this hunt other than the sighting-in rounds but I was always confident that the Tuff Pak protected rifle was ready if the opportunity had come.


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

A. E. Housman
