    Big Business Back Packs.

    I recently went with moroka30 45L pack. Ouch at the time for pricing but then I weigh up the kg's in meat. Then go to supermarket and look at the pricing. 2 or 3 deer taken home and its paid off in the price I would have spent at the super market and I still got a back pac.

    A good back pac is a wise investment that hurts at the start with the dollaroos but a sound investment for years to come

    Love to hear the outcome and feedback as i can see what a good pack can do now and only imagine what a even better pack will do

    I thought about them, had a mate have two buckles break in the first six months. And they don't have an external meat shelf. Some don't  that but I hate washing stinking blood out of my packs.

    I want a SG 40/56 but it's over $1200 with conversion, shipping and tax. 

    Thought about MR metcalf but they are about the same money now and made in Asia.

    I'm mostly a meat hunter and want something with an external meat carrier. Most don't have that ability.

    The buy once, cry once mentality is great for rifles, scopes, binos etc. But an expensive pack still isn't going to last a lifetime.

    Cheap day pack?

    I use a black wolf titanium 35l, little bit more expensive ($100) but has lasted me years. Black wolf have a good warranty too. I use mine for hunting and holidaying, mostly hunting though. The rigid frame is handy too along with the air mesh. It doesn't sit up against your back so you get good airflow. The frame also allows you to use the pack as a gun rest. Shot the fallow buck I posted a few weeks back at 140m by resting on the top of the pack in long grass that a bipod wouldn't have elevated you above.

    I'm currently in the market for a new multi day pack so in the meantime I've used this for everything up to a three day hunt. You learn to pack light! 

    Edit: anzac reminded me to mention, mine has a blaze orange rain cover. 

    Ridgeline Sale Aus

    I've had many types of hunting gear, some of my ridgeline fell apart over time, but my drab brown jumper is still hanging in there 8 years later. Shot some of my best deer with that on. 

    I won some braken gear once, that fell apart very quickly. I still have it but personally wouldn't spend money on it. 

    Dont hate my stoney creek or moroka but don't love it. 

    My best gear is my Swazi, only got a couple pieces but haven't got a complaint after about 4 years.

    I think for the price of moroka you're far better off going mystery ranch or kifaru. My mate has one, likes it but has had trouble with things breaking a few times. My brother runs a markhor and loves it, they're a French brand and don't get the exposure they deserve in Aus or the US. Tenzing are another solid brand.

    I have a Moroka 30 45+15 stalker pack, comfy and can carry the weight really well, i've done 3 days out of it once and it was no worries, also packs down to use as a day pack as well.

    I would but they're a bit out of my price range, nearly $650 for a 45 litre pack is a rich man's game!

     

    Especially with two mortgages and a kid on the way!

    Perhaps let us know what you are currently using?

    My pack is probably a downgrade from yours but I'll mention it anyway lol.

    Wilderness equipment breakout. Canvas, heavy duty, good support and most importantly, fits my body well.

    I guess you just have to try them on, weighted. It's the only real way to know I reckon.

    Got a couple of black wolf's, a 75 and a 35. The 75 is just really not comfortable to use. MY last backpack hunt I just used the small one and lived real light for a few days.
