Thread: Packs with a rifle pocket?

You will fit all meat from a red in a 35-40l and your gear,strap it on the outside if you have to.

Started with a pouch on a belt(day hunts) got 75-80l pack then a few years ago got a day pack.
My day pack will not handel the weight of meat and you end up wearing everything in the heat of the day that should be in your pack.

The big pack while it can be used for overnighters with room to spare always gets something(usually lots of things) not required in it and even half empty is a big bulky sweaty prick of a thing.

hence the overnighter pack.

big pack is for fly/boat/drive in med pack for walkin.

Very true. Compress it before you even start packing and it fills up quick and stops too much excess shit going in. Thats how I trick myself. But then I'm stupid and fall for simple ploys.
