My usual day pack (twin needle mollyme) is way to heavy to carry "extra",a bumbag doesn't sit well under a normal pack/waist belt (for me anyway) and a bino pouch's I've seen don't have enough room to carry all the day stuff ....Thought on what works for you ??

I have a ‘danz bags’ bum bag, which folds up really small, and a canvas meat bag/pikau. The latter rolls up to about the size of a tin of beans. The bum bag has plenty of room, and the pikau is only used to cart meat.

Sorry. What I meant was by those items you listed, I see you must love doing outdoors. And, I got items and gears like yours, some of gears, equipment are still new, never used yet.

@Tentman on walk in trips I take and use a fleece pikau, weighs sod all and doesn’t take up much room. https://huntechoutdoors.com/product/pikau-bags/

@Happy Jack what’s this pillow you have that weighs 910gms that’s heavier than my sleeping bag! I just use my down jacket inside a pillow case (meat bag) as my pillow.

My list already had the tent added

Oh man i was hoping it was some super fancy fluffy pillow you couldn't be with out haha

Me and my wife used to hiking a lots, I found a good backpacking system really will help with those weights. Same load in different backpack, I feel different weights on my shoulders and a good system will give me more mobility. I brought two aluminum frame backpacks, one for fishing with two wheels, the other one is for hunting, no wheels but bit lighter and stronger, have more attachments for holding all sort of gears as well for what you hunted.
