Have a look on wish.com for poles and eBay for 2nd hand osprey back pack. 1 Quote Link to post

Tyla 3,179 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 It all depends how far or steep you're planning to go. If it's just a mooch any bag will be fine but if you are carrying a decent weight up or down hill a decent quality and well fitting rucksack will make a big difference. 2 Quote Link to post

Only thing is their capacity range seems to top out at 70ish lts. You reckon that's enough? Can't help but think 100 is maybe better. Quote Link to post

That wouldn't cope with what I need to carry when off out into the sticks. The one I've got is massive lol fits everything in with nothing strapped outside. Last time I went, I weighed the backpack.... 37kg, nearly died on the way up On 10/03/2020 at 20:12, Tyla said: Have a look on wish.com for poles and eBay for 2nd hand osprey back pack. All wish tries to sell me is gimp masks and butt plugs... oh and a pool cue tool Quote Link to post

I've got an osprey atmos 65l that I've used both NZ trips, couple of multi day back pack hunts. I wouldn't go any bigger personally, when it's full it's a fair weight and if you end up packing meat out you'll regret having the extra space to fill! 1 Quote Link to post

It certainly makes you appreciate it here when you can extract deer with a truck or quad Quote Link to post
