Hello everyone,
New to the forum. I want to get into western hunting in the next few years and figured I'd start with a pack. Until then, I'd like to go hiking and camping with the pack and begin training under load. Eventually I'd like to do some multi-day hunts out west. My buddy who's gone on a few hunts already said they try to go for 7-10 days at a time.
My original idea was to get the Outdoorsman's Atlas trainer which would give me the frame and trainer. The more I dug into it, the more I found that there are better options available with better features and comfort. My buddy has a Kuiu Icon 1850 and a Kifaru Fulcrum. I'm in Oklahoma so that's probably going to be the extent of what I can try on. I like the price point of the Outdoorsman's and Kuiu's icon gear, but Kifaru, SG, and Exo are the best.
Any advice on what brand to go with and what size pack would be good for a beginner? Or maybe another perspective altogether? Thanks in advance.
