Thinking about a 50L or 60L +10 as a 2-3 day mission pack. Any good ?
I bought a Tatonka Norix (48 ltr) two years ago for the same reason.
Like my other bigger Tatonka (80 ltr) it handles the loads and is very comfortable to carry but it’s far lighter than the bigger Tatonka’s!
It also has the benefit of being able to adjust the harness to smaller people so one of my boys uses for our trips away.
I bought the Tatonka hinterland 70+10 for $300 the other week and tested it on a 3 day tent mission. Easily got 3 days back countries, tent, thermarest, fart sack, change of clothes, jetboil etc etc for the 3 days and had plenty of room left for meat.
Did the job well, very comfortable despite being very heavy (especially with a boned out spring spiker in it on the way back out). Not great in the bush due to the height, unless you want to catch every branch and vine on the way through. The Hinterland is the cheaper (and apparently) less durable version than the Bison, however it took a fair hammering and not a fayed thread on it. Worth a look for the money IMO.
