Im looking to back country hunt for about a week in Idaho . (elk)


I’m looking for a budget pack (under 500, preferably closer to under 400) as I’m just starting out.

From what I see a 75 l pack like the mystery ranch metcalf would be nice , are there other good options?

Also a plus if it could work well as a day pack as well . Thanks for any suggestions in advance
 
Stone glacier and sometimes Initial Ascent pop up on Camofire. I got my SG 5900 on there for $450. They also have Mystery Ranch on quite a bit

Id look in the classifieds here for a SG/Exo/Kifaru/IA first
 
EXO, Stone Glacier, and Kifaru are the ones you'll probably see recommended most, and you can probably find a used one here in that price range. I have a mystery ranch Metcalf and am happy with it, but I haven't used those other 3 which are recommended more often.
 
Right on that’s what I’ve been seeing, hill people gear looks interesting too for around same price point as metcalf
 
Classifieds here....look for a Kifaru Duplex or Ark, an Exo K3 or K4, maybe an SG 5900. I'd buy a used pack from one of these three.
