Thread: 40l day bag - suggestions

My macpac weka 40l is done after 6 loyal years. Not because it failed, it wasn’t anywhere near that but because my new pup chewed it on our way out hunting Saturday morning! Along with the clips on my bino harness..

I would very happily get another but figure i’ll see what ideas you can all throw me. Has to be around the 40l mark and not too serious that it’s a prick bush stalking. I like to do everything with it from loading it up with boned out meat through to sneaking in on deer in the bush.

Cheers

get it repaired...... the devil you know and all that...... build it better,stronger,faster and all that....cue the 6 million $ man music.....

Cactus Huntaway. Chuck a fleece top over the outside to keep it quiet in the bush. They can carry a good load.

This. About as good a pack as I've found. Bit noisy in the Bush but easily overcome with a fleece as above

Spika Drover bombproof packs and you can remove the 40L and fit the 80L on the same frame or remove the pack and use the frame as a meat rack. It is designed to do all those things and I have found my 80L one to be very well thought out.

Yep can't go wrong with cactus huntaway or maybe the smaller miklat. Also like the look of the twineedle mollyme but cant ever see my huntaway needing replacement.

Just seen to that twineedle have some new Molly side pouches. Would probably fit the huntaway to for additional 10 litter capacity.

+1 for the hunterway, bomb proof pack

Absolutely love my huntaway, i would never consider going smaller than that either.

The fleece over it is a good idea if bush stalking, are you guys somehow pulling a fleece bushmans T over it?

I undo the straps and put a blaze warehouse fleece on it. Straps through the arms and then reattach.works well.

Had a nosey at the Cactus Huntaway, looks good alright but think i’ll pass at $630 !

Shit. I'm sure I paid around $300 for mine.

Inflation ;-)

@stagstalker I have a brand new (or maybe used once) black Weka if you are interested. Dunno about price. 20% off retail?
