    Here's the Weka soon after I got it with overnight gear and half a boned out deer, without over-loading it or hanging anything on the outside.

    I use one of these. Holding up well, though hasn't had as much use as I'd like.

    +1 Cactus. Have a Miklat (that you know) but the Huntaway looks the part. Miklat has no chest strap (but one can be fitted). Take less shit and you will be fine!

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Use the Eberlestock J34. Starts @ 35L and sits really snug/flat against your back with the compression straps. Can open up massive to carry meat. On the heavier side for a day pack but the flip side is wider straps etc. mean it won't move around on your back and makes it a breeze for carrying meat out or when going multiple days you don't need to take a sizeable daypack inside your pack.

    We might be a little bias towards our own gear, but the MollyMe pack is quite versatile and you can add pouches in increase capacity. Cactus packs are also worth looking at, buy NZ made where you can!Name: Tahr pack.jpg Views: 2325 Size: 1.19 MB

    Excellent. A pack with legs to carry itself.

    Looks a very good pack.

    I use a Eberstock team elk pack for carrying out animals for people, it'll take all my gear and a deer.

    +1 for the Eberstock team elk pack. A bit pricey but well made and that metal frame can carry some heavy loads of meat. Ive added a couple of molle pouches to mine.

    I have a Weka 30, good daypack. Big enough for summer overnighters but I'd probably go for the 40L version if I was buying one now. Cactus and Twinneedle packs look good too, I haven't owned one but if they're like their other gear they'll be solid as.

    They only introduced it about a week ago so unlikely to be many for sale second hand!
