    Yep, my day pack is the MK 2:

    https://platatac.com/catalogue/packs...-ii-nsn-d.html

    Everything in my main compartment is in molle type pouches, first aid kits, binos, food cookers etc... It stays in my pack unless i get either a large animal or two, then i can strap everything to the outside which clears all the space internally for meat.

    This then all matches my ghillie suit and camo face paint!

    No just kidding! The reason i switched to this system is a personal observation that a large portion of hunters end up with buggered knees and hips. In order to preserve mine for longer, to intern be physically capable of hunting for longer into my senior years i shifted my mentality on carrying weight and recovery. I view and treat it like a gym session doing squats and dead lifts, so want any weight im bearing held tight to my back and sitting on my hips with no movement or slop. This is more aligned to how joints are designed to operate (hinge/ball socket). Gone are the days of me carrying whole animals or using floppy packs.

    I strictly use packs with external frames and that can be customised exactly to my body size, type and according to the load i'm carrying. They must be fully adjustable in every way so as to avoid shearing and grinding away my knees and hips.

    Lastly if i'm spending decent money on some kit i want it to last, so it has to be built tough and stand up to abuse. I used to avoid camo like the plague, but eventually got sick of buying various fancy brands which shred to pieces in months. So switched to built to abuse army surplus which is by in large cheaper to buy too.

    Just my 2c
