I too have an LLBean Hunter Carry All and it is a decent light-weight hauler pack. I wish it had an adjustable torso but, while it is just a bit long for me, it is still very useable. A couple of years ago, I packed my Eberlestock J34, nearly fully loaded in the Carry All pack and it worked surprisingly well. I hiked several miles with this combination and it was moderately comfortable. If I ever attempt a backpack hunt again (not likely at my age) I may try it again.


Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
