Hi All,
I am hoping to get lots of feedback on what everyone feels is the best back pack/framepack for an extended hunt. We are doing a 10-14 day sheep hunt this fall and the research has started. I am looking for a pack that can handle all of the necessary gear and then be able to handle the weight of an animal on the way out. (if we are lucky enough to get one) I have looked at many packs online and in some stores. A couple of questions that have come out of this search for me are:
1. is it best to find a pack that can be broken down from the large pack to a smaller one for the day hunt away from base camp?
2. should I get a pack that has a meat tray on it or go the route of one that has a compartment. Why is one more beneficial than the other?
3. Are there any packs we should stay away from?
4. What is the best size? 85 litre? or do we not have to go that big?
Thank you in advance for your help.
