So, I went 0 for all in the draws this year for any back country hunts. Good time to purge and try some new things. I have a Kuiu Pro 3600, Mystery Ranch Mule, and a Kifaru Stryker XL. I am a fan of using as small and lightweight a pack as possible, and for that I like the Kuiu or MR. I also like the flexibility of an easy to use load shelf. Place camp gear in a bag, drop it in and go, then remove once in the mountains and begin hunting. For that, the Kifaru is excellent. MR is good too in that regard. The ease of use on the Kuiu ‘load shelf‘ is not great. Looking at the SG EVO 3300, it appears to have an easy to use load shelf in a lightweight, capable frame. Given the condition if my back, and getting a little older, I don’t anticipate hauling both meat and camp so big voluminous bags are not for me. Hard for me to imagine going over 80-100 lbs ever. My 5-day load is a little under ~50lbs when rifle is included.
Has anyone loaded the SG with a few days of stuff for an October mountain hunt? Overall experience with the pack? Seem like a bombproof pack?
