Thread: Overnight pack size

@chainsaw. You’re not wrong there. A bit off topic but last big stag I carried out off bush whole in 2011 I got a shade under 70 kegs boned out meat. He was a big fucker and it was pure determination and a dash of stupidity that I got it out. Normally a leisurely 20 minute walk turned into hour and three quarter grind. Wasn’t too keen on going back for pack and gear. Took a few days to get over that and not that sure I’d attempt it again these days, body is over it.

I used to overnighters fly camping with a 40L pack.
You could fit a boned out red deer in there if I put my sleeping bag in the outside on the way out.

As others have said just get a expandable pack, just be diligent to only put the essentials in there as the more space you have the more shit you put in it.

When I was a young fulla me and a mate would do pig hunting overnighters with only a couple of muesli bars in a bum bag. No sleeping bag or nothing, just find a dry spot and cuddle up to a dog for the night. Couldn't do it now though too soft
