Thread: Carry in day bags?

I still use a huntech 40L daypack fill it with gear and stick it down the guts of a 90L cascade. It is not super light but by the time you stick GPS, EPIRB, food, water, coat, extra top knife, headtorch, ammo, meat bags, bipod etc etc plus have room for meat then a half decent daypack comes into it's own. If you have to cut through any scrub a big pack is pain and noisy. I would like a better daypack and think I will eventually pick up a macpac weka, and maybe cut the weird front pocket off and get twin needle or someone to sew a decent pocket on the front, but it may not be as packable as a huntech which can be folded in half or rolled up. Everyone is different, the concept of carrying any bone off the hill other than a decent head is crazy to me, always bone it out on site, so much weight saved.

I use a Huntech 40lt. It’s big enough for 2 Red Deer back wheels and back steaks and all the other shit I carry.
