Thread: Twin needle minime pack - any good?

Some peolpe love them, I tried one and a Swazi "stag bag" I think it was called. I found both not to be what I wanted. Nothing wrong with the concepts or construction, just not how I wanted to work them. A decent sized pack that fold down well when it only has a few items in it is my "go to"
If I am in an area that allows for vheicle or track recovery of animals I opt for a 30L day bag with a good frame. It will carry plenty. But anything like meat will only be carried to the exit point.
Tried the "just one" concept as well and while it did many of the box ticks it failed on the lightweight aspect (3 KG empty if I recall.)

With the Minime you need to be pretty parred down on gear and boning out will be a requirement too. If in heavy terrain with 15 kgs of meat onboard, you may well wish for a framed pack. But like I said guys find them good, its always a pretty personel choice, how you travel.
