I feel fortunate enough to constantly get into animals fairly close to my camp. We simply leave from camp over a ridge or two and are into animals.
I had a "just one" pack last year and hauling an elk out about killed me. It was barrelling bad no matter how tight i strapped it down. I've decided to get a new pack.
I am confused about which one to get. I like some parts of the MR packs, some parts of Kifaru and some of SG.
I really like the bikini wth the deluxe timberline packs, either 1,2 or 3.
I think the bigger packs might be a little bit overkill, but am really not sure about that.
for you guys/gals that have the bigger packs.....do you use the same pack to hunt with after you drop all your gear at camp? do they compress down enough to not be overkill for a day hunt?
I like the idea of having the option to really pack it full of gear should I need to one day.
I guess it comes down to the question. Is a DT2 or Dt3 overkill? Is there a reason not to get one of those packs?
Thanks for reading my rambling on.
