Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Tatonka Packs?

After many years of trying to complete my hunts in a single, long day I am keen to start doing multi-day hunts and will need a bigger pack. My current day pack is an Osprey Stratos 36. Back in the early 2000's I had one of the early Eberlestock Just One packs but found it heavy to use as a day pack and never got it quite comfortable.

I have been reading about top quality hunting packs like Kifaru, Stone Glacier and Seek Outside however by the time I get one here to New Zealand and convert currencies and pay import duties I'm looking at around $1,500 for a pack without accessories. While the quality and capability of these packs would be nice, I'm not sure my needs justify that sort of outlay.

Tatonka packs from Germany seem popular here in NZ with hunters, look to be of good quality and I was wondering if anyone at the Fire had personal experience with them? I am looking at the Yukon 70lt pack.

I had a lastenkraxe pack frame. It was good quality and I used it a bit but ended up selling it to a buddy since it was just too big for my needs and I wanted more pockets. It was a good quality pack and the price was right. Hopefully you have a place where you can try them on before you buy. Packs are one thing that I just can never settle on. I seem to buy and try at least one a year.

Thank you for the input. Yup, tried it on this morning and it seemed good, however I need to take some weight in to try it with.
