Note: its stuffed full, so more likely 45L due to the way I pack it in...but it weighs less everyday as I eat my way through it. But then it weights more if I shoot something hahaha

Bugger that, (hardly get my lunch in a bag like that kj),
bigger pack the better, I've used hallmark Everest frame pack ( good for the munta loads 100kgs+), skin bag for fly camping, currently using either a macpac cascade (if carrying full camp set ups) or kakapo (if using huts)

get a big pack , you don't need to fill it up, hard to get more in a full small pack tho
