    The biggest problem is finding the material. Most seed is in plastic woven bags now

    I haven't used the famed Bacho which sounds the bees knees. Another option is a Mercator. Either way not bulky, not heavy and quite cheap

    Opinel is another very light, cheap and easy to find option when it comes to knives. A stainless one sharpened on a "hobo hone" (Google it) will surprise you...

    Be getting close to 15 years since any seed turned up in jute sacks here. A lot of it comes in half tonne bags now. Depends on your merchant

    If you have had stability issues, get a walking pole or better yet 2. They make a huge difference

    You would get a fair bit of hunting shit and gadgets in that pack then. Some on here would just about need it.

    For me, its my camera and tri-pod that takes up the room nowadays.

    Apart from that I have a small belt pack with my PBR and a spare little head torch and knife on my belt, and in a 40 litre macpac a little first aid kit and survival blanket, compass, batteries, main head torch (Chinese) and rain coat. If I'm in the trees or unfamiliar country I take my GPS. If with a mate I take a hand held radio.

    I always have my 10x40 binos and range finder (even in the trees there is always the chance of a longer shot across a gully or up a slip - all part of achieving a humane kill). 6 rounds of ammo. Pillow case for meat.

    Re Bacho knives and Bunnings, went into Bunnings Mt Roskill, they dont stock them now, something to do with H&S rules, they are worried that someone might cut themselves, they will order one in but I couldnt be bothered, will have to go for a drive to a farm supply store.

    I have a Huntech 40l (nz model) in that is water, canvas meat bag (to protech the main bag) jacket depending on time of year and time of day, maybe a snack. Knife, headlamp. On my belt i have plb, camera, rangefinder, spare ammo.

    The 40l will hold back steaks and 2 x back legs of a big stag, more if you bone it out and then the other gear as mentioned above. As per "been there done that" go for a 40l bag, go for soft outsides so you can bush stalk and try something without all the straps and shit on the outside

    as for knives, a lot of guys make do with folders, fit in the pocket, not much good for chopping trees down, but great for dealing to deer.
    Boots, if your not on the tops in the scree a lot, have a look at Salomon boots, light, dry quick,light, comfy and light.

    Yep there light been wearing them for a week and really good. Around 659g per boot.
    No blisters very comfortable, also very light.
    Down sides, a little cold? But I think that this is because they are so light?
    This is only when driving. If your walking fine. But I was thinking that this may be a minus if you sit for long periods glassing.http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...e-img_4450.jpg
