I’m still on the fence about the large full length side pockets, I’m used to one main compartment and also having the protection of a pack liner for all my gear against poor weather. I don’t use a spotting scope and am seriously considering cutting out the internal wall on one side to make the main compartment larger and keeping the other in intact for tent or bivvy gear.

To the people that have them, what are you chucking in the large side pockets?

Hey man ive used mine quite a few times.
Tent in one side fits with some extra room.

Tripod if im taking the spotter goes in the other and can fit a full 3L bladder for camp water in the other.

I found folding my sleeping pad and placing it in the bottom of the pack saves a bit of space too then sleeping bad and clothes in a dry bag on top, food and jetboil.

I have the drink bottle holder and one front pouch is bloody handy.

I also have a few of there white organizer bags that you can clip into different spots and these work awesome

Note mine too is the 3600 but i have the idea of getting a 5000 at some point. I can do 3 days with some room to add more but the pack gets quite wide and its a bit of a pain in the creeks.

Meat shelf is designed for meat on the bone, when i used mine i ended up using 2 sticks in the dry bag to help keep it vertical but normally just carry it in my pack as normal.
I am thinking there must be a better way to use the meat shelf with boned out meat.

I bought the Crib. I think this would help with smaller or less supported loads. https://exomtngear.com/collections/k...rib-load-panel
