I’m buying some gear to start mountain hunting after almost 23 years out of the mountains. I really have no clue what I ACTUALLY need, in terms of size as equipment and clothing has changed so much. I’m really considering a Kifaru pack but with the Black Ovis sale, I decided I ought to buy a Mystery Ranch pack while they’re on sale. I can always resell it if I need to.
Realistically, I probably won’t pack in more than 7 days and likely only 5, the first couple of trips next fall. I’m hoping to have a partner or two but, just in case, I want to be able to go solo. I’ll be archery elk hunting since I have to be back on the ranch I manage by early October, to to run whitetail season. Which one would be a better sized pack. I’m leaning towards the Metcalf but I’m not sure.
Sale ends tomorrow so hopefully you can shoot me some answers pretty quick.
FWIW- I have a Kuiu Icon Pro 1850 pack that I bought for a guided elk hunt I went on in 2015. It wasn’t nearly as comfortable as I thought/hoped it would be. So, I thought I’d give it to my son-in-law for Christmas since he says he wants to join me. Then, he can just get a bigger bag for it. The Mystery Ranch packs look to be more comfortable than the Kuiu packs - is that right?
