Thread: Erberlestock J34 JUST ONE vs M5 RMEF TEAM ELK PACK

Hey Guys, I was going to hijack another thread but thought best not to.

I currently hunt with the Badlands Super Day pack which is great, however if you load it up the memory foam frame is useless and just ruins your back, and I do wish for more storage. (Other than that the packs are awesome)

Was keen to go the Kuiu frame system way and get a day back and a larger bag for the longer journeys and interchange the frame, however don't have that sort of coin (Have an Osprey Argon for big trips, gets jobs done nothing fancy).

Which had me looking at the two Erberlestock options:

• J34 JUST ONE https://eberlestock.com/collections/...ducts/just-one
• M5 RMEF TEAM ELK PACK https://eberlestock.com/collections/.../team-elk-pack

They both seem to tick all boxes, good frame and good capacity. I like that the J34 you can add the J2SD Spike Camp Duffel to expand its capacity which could potentially put my Osprey and Badlands packs out of action...

My mate uses the X1 Euro and its great, just too small for me capacity wise for my next option.

I just wanted to hear some forum members experiences and advice with these while doing the yards in NZ.

Looking to buy now-ish.

Also if I should be looking at something else or just bite the bullet and go down the divorce option and go Kuiu haha.

Cheers in advance.

The J34 Just1 are very good packs with heaps of storage and solidly constructed, handle loads well. You can compress the bag down if you want to use it as a "day pack", but still not small & downside is they are not light weight packs.

forgot to mention ... the in-built rifle scabbards on Eberlestocks are bloody brilliant.
