SU,
I hauled out about 60# of deer meat on the shelf without any problems and the pack was still quite comfortable.
I have only used it on day hunts so far, but I had a lot of room to spare(my pack is the tall version.)

To see how much I could pack, I have been able to put a sleeping bag, small tent(ID Mega sola), sleeping pad,spotting scope and cook ware and about 3 days food without any troubles whatsoever.

To make a long story short, I think the pack could do a 5 day trip, yes.

Hope this helps.
