Thread: Pack for hunting/hiking

Got rid of a few "lightweight" packs that I had in the past and bought a second hand Macpac Cascade 65L from a forum member. Love it, think I paid $200. Put a cactus rifle holder on it for long walks along roads or tops. Find the lighter packs cut in to your shoulders and are generally made out of some noisy nylon materials that just can't cope with NZ. I've never been too keen on large packs. If I have extra gear like a bulky tent I just strap it to the bottom of my pack on the outside and throw a cover over the whole thing. The Macpacs are a bit heavy but really comfortable for multi day treks and can carry substantial loads.
