Good to know.

Yeah, the packs work very well imo. Packed out a couple of fallow now (previous hunting reports). Any boned out meat will tend to slump to the bottom of course but existing straps ensure it doesnt fall out. If worried, can use small type meat bags to pack in tight or perhaps an extra tie down strap. Ive not found it a big issue.

sold out in an hour!

Thats a great deal, thanks for letting everyone know.

Just did some googling - as Duncs said - can be expensive for chopper - depending on the state. Im gonna check my insurance.

I thought it was free too - but ambulance is not usually free, so not sure.

yeah, great advice SS & Duncs, its easy to forget about that bit of important kit that could save your or a friends life one day. I do the check procedure once a year and Ive also registered it.

not yet, but they review well.

Yeah, some items too expensive for me too. I've only bought packs and some accessories.

If you're interested: https://www.kuiu.com/ ?

I do the same when i camp out in my tent.

I just bought the kuiu LT 4000 bag for day hunting - approx 65L- Swap it out for my 6000 pro on the same carbon fibre frame. I like around 65L min.

Cant go wrong with kuiu mate. Go the pro light.

S2S are great mats- almost too many choices.

Nah, not been hunting since the last report. I have been doing some training hikes with sand bags in the pack - around 28kg all up. Longest just recently 7.5km. I found its taken a few hikes to work the pack out and adjust it - particularly when the weight comes on. I think I got it sorted now. Didnt take any photos of the pack loaded up - shoulda - do it next time. The meat is wedged between the carbon frame plate and the back of the pack. It sits really well as 2x compression straps each side from back to front of pack, 2 x on the bottom and pulls together really well so very little movement or over balance of the load.

Im not sure the pluck foam in Evo gear is reusable? Quantas & jetstar allow extra carryon with rifle - but it has to be within the overall baggage limit - around 23kgs - and depends on how you travel ie economy etc. Also, I dont think you can share weight with others? Dont quote me, others know for sure.

yeah, could be same factory. The weight limit sucks. I think the comparable pelican is about the same weight.

I bought an Evolution Gear HD long case 2540 for around half the price which to me looks like a pelican copy. Its a very solid case, around 11kg (with foam) looks like it has extra structural ribs top and bottom compared to pelican. The air pressure equalisation is not automatic. Roller wheels etc. Cheers.

This looks like a good deal for someone living close : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/pelican-cases/265066744894?hash=item3db7358c3e:g:thkAAOSw9iZgNzya

I considered the the Bison, looks great but no load sling, bit heavy I think too....

EEffing heavy.....not sure my legs could do that!

Ive not much experience backpack hunting either. I just bought a Kuiu pro 6000. Did an overnighter last week, packed out a boned out fallow doe - very happy with the pack. Load carrier work very well, very secure. Might have to do a hunt report soon. Cheers, Dave

Havalon double bladed model- scalpel one end, trad drop point other- will do everything. Diamond sharpener. Also kleva range pro knife sharpener.

That Moroka30 sling does look better - surprisingly its also affordably priced.

Looks like some good memories there BT.
