Thread: 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

Stag Bag - Merino socks|Tramping socks|Thermal underwear|Buy online

Try one of these

Macpac all right. Stay away from stoney crap and ridgeline

Already have a Macpack Cascade 90L for big jobs but gets caught in the crap in the bush if I try to use it there

I'm about to tell the missus I need a new day pack too....might be a bit soon yet after just purchasing a new pair of boots..... Dunno what stoney creek is like these days.... Obviously scoped don't like stoney creek, but I have used a polar fleece bag of theirs for the last 18 some years......its had a bloody hard life and is starting to get a bit thin..but still got a few hunts left in her yet....be interesting to see wat u go with..... Mate just uses an old hessian sack....turned into a pikau

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

Cactus. Tough as. I don't own one but its on my list......

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

Some of us like to bring more out than in Cam

I have an early stoney creek small backpack for a day bag. It has been great. Wot I find now, is that manufactures, try to get to techy with everything and try to out do the completion by adding stuff on you don't need. Too many buckles and straps these days for my liking. Keep it simple go macpac or one planet, good hard wearing bags, but basic. No extra belts, amo pouches, water holders, gun holders etc etc.

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!
