Thread: Bum Bags

I do sometimes hunt with a bumbag if I know I'm not going far and if I know the area well. If there are clean streams to drink from and I can get out quickly if the weather turns, then a bumbag is a good option.

If I'm out for longer, going further or overnight I'll take my Badlands Diablo and it's the best small pack I've owned by far!
It has a mesh suspension system that keeps it off my back and helps stop me sweating.
It's got a 3L water bladder, that I rarely fill, to keep weight down but can be filled from a stream if I need more.
Also carried:

Binoculars.
Knife.
Leatherman.
First aid kit.
Lightweight waterproof.
Torch.
Head torch.
Energy bars/snacks.
5m of strong cord.
GPS.
Lighter.
Toilet paper in waterproof bag.
Spare ammo. (10)
Brimmed hat.

The straps on the pack are well positioned and even when full with spare clothing, Hennesy hammock, food and sleeping bag strapped on the bottom it's still comfortable...though maxed out!
When carrying just the items listed its not heavy or bulky and has plenty of room for spare clothing and meat when all goes according to plan. 😁
