Thread: Packs for heavy loads

Bit more on the Initial Accent (60 litre) I bought. Got stung by GST so final price was close to $1k. Ouch. But it is a beaut. I can use the full pack for taking in to huts etc and than take the bag off and just use the load sling and lid for day hunts. The load sling and lid can carry quite a bit of stuff for a day hunt.

It doesn't make things lighter but it does make the heavy loads so much more comfortable and tolerable than anything else Ive used. And the load on my knees, legs and hips feels so much better balanced.

Recently I carted these 2 bone in legs plus back steaks up out of this gully and the only limiting factor was my body. I left one ok shoulder 'cos I thought it would be too much but half way up I realised I could have had it on board too. Super pleased.





Im aware that others' have gone with Exo packs. I imagine they are as good or better - but I'm happy with my choice. When reading up about packs it seemed that the Exo are the best all rounders but plenty of reviews said that the Initial Accent was the best with very heavy loads. That's what I wanted.
