I’m still undecided whether to get a Gossimer Gorilla or a Hyperlite 4400

I know @dale bought one into the country but he’s yet to do a gear review

In the meantime my main pack I use for trips away is a Osprey Aether which is a greater step up than my Tatonka I was using.

Getting a lighter pack is a great idea but you also need to look at everything else you take and see what you can change to make it lighter or more compact

As for carrying animals... yeah.... nah... I don’t need to aggravate my numerous injuries so I prefer to bone out and put the meat into my Huntech meat bag so I don’t get blood on everything in my pack.

By all accounts the hyperlite southwest4400 I got appears tough with the harness system similar to the cactus hector. I’m yet to do a trip with it but will do shortly and put a post up.
