    Hunting packs

    Hey guys, what packs have you guys got for when you do 3-4 day walk in trips? Had a look and there's a lot out there so just wondering what people recommend.

    Cheers Ben

    One planet traverse 38l, made in aus. Pretty tight for 3-4 days but can be done so long as you don't carry too much crap. And when I shoot something there's plenty of straps to carry clothes etc on the outside to make room for the meat. Not too heavy at 1400grams

    Cant go wrong with a One Planet, I use a One Planet McMillan 80l, would have to be the most comfortable will made pack I have had, runs rings around the macpacs I have had, and plenty of room for a big load out!

    I just picked up a exped lightning 60l. Havnt had it out in the hills yet but have loaded it up for some hill sprints a few times, comfy and super light. I probably wouldnt want to full on scrub bash in it though the material is reasonably thin

    So I'm guessing 60L is plenty of room?

    Yeah man 60l is about as much as I want to take. Can strap sleeping mats ect on the outside to if you need the extra space.

    Although if you have a big bulky synthetic sleeping bag, a 70+l might be the go
