    Daypack

    OK, I have just waded thru all 21 pages of the "Gear and Equipment"

    I need a daypack for primarily hinting in the bush, short hunts, yada yada.

    Recomendations please,

    Looked at Markor Wapati EVO and the Imparla and others. Also the Hunting and Fishing (yes I have just washed my mouth out), Seka 33l pack or something from the Hunters Element range.
    More confused than ever but looking for something which wont snag up in stuff and not too bit but not too small either
    Cheers in advance

    Well what are you after then a full pack or a day pack! I think macpac have a sale on this weekend possibly. Hunters element, markhor are probably the better brands mentioned but you don't need fleece outer or gun scabbard or a mobile coffee roaster attachment!

    For what it's worth I've just purchased a 40L hunters element. Or It may be a 45L. It's good.
    I like it. It's not bullet proof but it handles a good load for the day and more importantly the trip home from a successful day.
    I would buy again. For $230 it's good enough for me.

    What bonecrusher said.

    Folds up flat and fits into big pack for multi-day. Works great on it's own for day trips. Comfortable and made to last.

    One planet 38litre, great harness, super simple design, very few snag points. Made from special canvas and it's made in Australia

    Is that the Traverse? I have one of those, if it is, One Planet makes fantastic kit, and yep, great harness, comfy and robust. Not sure about you, but I find the canvas quite noisy in the bush, was planning on fashioning a fleece cover for it out of an old fleece top or something, maybe that's just going too far. Anyway, great pack.

    Cactus could also be a good option as metioned, but with a similar heavy duty fabric, those too could be noisy.

    +1 for the Cactus. Miklat is where it's at.

    40plus bloody liters! what the fuck do you guys carry on a bush stalk?
    I use a 35 for overnighters on the tops with all the long looky shooty stuff along for the ride.\

    10-20liter should be ample for your gear and mine mikee
