Thread: Do everything pack

I understand of the hunt light concept with a small pack but what happens when you shoot an animal and have a heap of meat? I much prefer to pack light with my larger lightweight pack and then have ample room for meat. No way you could fit a fully boned animal plus 3 days gear into 40l?

I use an Osprey Aether BTW.

Its doable, I just strap the drybag with my quilt and shit to the outside of the pack works well enough. TBH though the huntech doesn't carry that well when loaded, fine for a day hunt but gets old after a couple of days with a full load on. With 3 days of gear and food onboard for a walkabout my traps and neck start to get sore after the first full day.

I have a cactus huntaway as well that carries wayyyyyy better than the huntech but is a bit noisey when bush bashing. Is my go to now for short on the go hunts.
