    Me and my wife used to hiking a lots, I found a good backpacking system really will help with those weights. Same load in different backpack, I feel different weights on my shoulders and a good system will give me more mobility. I brought two aluminum frame backpacks, one for fishing with two wheels, the other one is for hunting, no wheels but bit lighter and stronger, have more attachments for holding all sort of gears as well for what you hunted.

    My usual day pack (twin needle mollyme) is way to heavy to carry "extra",a bumbag doesn't sit well under a normal pack/waist belt (for me anyway) and a bino pouch's I've seen don't have enough room to carry all the day stuff ....Thought on what works for you ??
    I have a ‘danz bags’ bum bag, which folds up really small, and a canvas meat bag/pikau. The latter rolls up to about the size of a tin of beans. The bum bag has plenty of room, and the pikau is only used to cart meat.

    @burtonator what’s your food for 500gm a day? my food bag for my first roar trip this year was 6kg for 6 nights/7 days, over the 2 trips I did I lost 3kg
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    That 500g is basically 3 dehi meals and a choc bar

    I generally don’t run that on a 2-3 day trip. A bit of fresh food goes a long way.
