this is a great pack for one day hunts (i learnt this when i went to mitchrulz's pace and was lugging around a huge frame pack while scott and jodi had these small camo backpacks).
after getting the name and price of the backpack i bought one 2-3 weeks later from tamworth outdoors for $45.
i couldn't wait to give it a field test so i went out to a property where there is foxes and rabbits and was impressed thoroughly at it's manovarablity and it's comfort while on your back.
for it's size it really does hold a fair amount of gear, this is what i took out:
*the 2 ltr water bladder filled up
*jumper
*2 facemasks
*a bit of food
*1.5 metres of bailing twine (very handy)
*spare small knife
*2 rags
*compass
*binoculars (when they weren't around my neck)
*mobile phone
*container with spare broadheads and blunts
These are the packs features:
2 litre bladder
on/off tap at the bite valve
padded harness
4 pockets in back pack
waist band
expansion gusset
sternum strap
weighs 800grams when empty
this pack is also good enough to perform the final stalk in as i found out when i saw a fox feeding on some carrion and he wouldn't respond to my whistle or immitation mating bark so i stalked in to 30 metres and had a shot missing by about 4 inches over his back :roll: (damn, foxes: 3 rohan: 0)
it is a great pack very moderately priced compared to it's competitors and is perfect for hunts when you return to camp every night to replenish your supplies.
the only con is the zips rattle a little when walking which MAY give your position when hunting skittish game.
hope this post helps anyone looking at buying this pack but is not sure what it is like.
