Thread: Hunting packs

"Have you carried full weight in that exped? +35kg? " =nope, but i did carry 7kg all up on my back for two days(biv-mat-sleep bag-cooker-food-emergency gear-clothes), and boy was it an eye opener in comparison to carrying at least 14kg every other trip.
secondly i never intend loading with 35 kg, mostly because i cant. Reason i bought the Exped pack is, the way my knees are i can see i have limited hunting life left. if i can make it easier to be out there, and a consequence means i need to think harder about loads, then so be it. For me its a choice between being able to go or not- more so as time goes on.


I seem to remember a few of the more experienced hunters on the forums stating "the basic on your back gear is same- you just add more food and wipe for extended trips"
