Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting So what backpack?

Eric M,

I'll probably get some 1 inch webbing from DIY Gear Supply along with some fastex/ITW type side release buckles.

I'll probably go with 3 horizontal compression straps, two over the top, and a cordura or possibly webbing load shelf.

I have a HPG Tarahumara and compression kit, but I think with a little bit of bartack sewing I can come up with something lighter and easier to use.

My thought is to get a cuben fiber rolltop dry bag made for my gear and then use either the Tara or a small ULA pack as a daypack.

I think Kevin is close on the weights. I hope to be under 5 lbs with enough space for a 7-10 day hunt.
