Hunting Backpack Extra-Large Expedition

Description

This extra-large hunting backpack is built for hunters who carry camp on their back. Its capacity is listed at 14.79 to 19.81 gallons, roughly 56 to 75 liters, which is enough for shelter, a sleep system, spare clothing, food and game bags on a three- to seven-day trip.

What stands out

• Tall vertical main compartment that keeps heavy items close to your back
• Two vertical compression straps running the full height to lash tent poles, a spotting scope or sheds
• Shock-cord lacing on the front pocket for a wet rain shell or extra layer
• Zippered side pockets for a headlamp, navigation tools and hydration accessories
• Six colors, from solid black to khaki camouflage

Where it fits, and where it doesn’t

Pick it for spike camps and spot-and-stalk hunts in big country. It is more pack than you need for a morning in a tree stand, where something like the olive drab tactical day pack is easier to manage. If you expect to pack out quarters regularly, a pack with a built-in frame, such as the hunting backpack with frame, carries heavy loads more comfortably.

Field tips

• Load a sleeping bag at the bottom, heavy food and water in the middle against your back, and layers on top.
• Use the vertical compression straps to pull a partial load in tight. A half-empty large pack sways more than a full one.
• Practice a full-weight carry on a local trail before a backcountry trip to find hot spots early.
