Thread: What size backpack for multi-day hunts?

As a slightly tangential thread to this topic, I have a question for you guys who are alpine hunting down South.

What are you carrying in your packs when on a day hunt, away from base camp, returning each evening?
I notice those of you who post YouTube vids seem to carry a lot of gear, big packs which clearly have a lot of gear in them.

While I’ve done a bit of South Is hunting I’m pretty green up in the mountains, 99% has been in the Kaimanawa’s or Pureora.
Often in my younger days just a belt with a knife and a small pouch with a compass, cut down map and a bit of food….
