.......packs that get big enough to carry camp in, get small enough to be out of the way during the hunt and get big enough to carry meat and the head on the way out with camp too if a guy can move the weight?
Sounds like a good old Kifaru Longhunter to me......
The Kifaru Ultra Light does the same things as my Longhunter, although it may not have the longevity. Time will tell in that regard.
That is true to a point. 100+ pounds in a Kifaru Longhunter with your gear and meat is much more comfy than 100+ in a Kifaru UL. However, for day hunting the Kifaru UL is dang hard to beat!!
I'd never haul a separate pack into the backcountry though if spiking out just to day hunt out of. Doesn't make any sense to me. Both the Kifaru UL and Longhunters are great packs, can't go wrong with either one.
