Looking ahead to next fall's plans already, and I can't decide which is the better option for an archery elk, spike camp, hunt. I have a Badlands Diablo day pack, and an Osprey Xenith 75L pack. I was thinking I'd use my Osprey to pack everything in a few miles to a camping spot, and use it as (hopefully) a meat hauler. But also bring my day pack in with me to use while hunting each day. Starting to think I might be better off leaving the Badlands behind and just cinching down all the compression straps on the Osprey to use as my day pack instead. I wanted to ask for some advice from all you bowhunting folks. My concerns are:
- My Osprey is the usual noisy nylon material found on "regular" backpacking packs
- It is taller and bulkier than my little day pack
- And maybe not a big deal, but it's not camo, just a dark gray color
So what do you guys think? I understand the best plan would be to just go out and drop $700 on a high-end, hunting specific pack, but unfortunately that's just not in the cards for this guy. I'll just have to get by with what I have for now. Looking forward to hearing opinions from everyone!
