Thread: What size backpack for multi-day hunts?

I use the Cactus Foray 75l. It's heavy, but it can cope with the abuse I give it on a regular basis. I can pack out a full animal, with climbing/hunting and camping gear all included. Its New Zealand made, and has excellent back support for my buggered shoulders too. But still, its bloody heavy.

About 3kg. Those fancy frame packs from Hunters Element and Bushbuck are both heavier (3.5kg?) and I suspect not as robust.

1k tho'. Dang, that take commitment. Stone Glacier would be more - $1.2k. SG = 2.4kg.
