^ ThisThe absolute no brainer here is to go with an EXO 2000 bag.
I am going on my first drop camp hunt for elk in CO 2nd rifle. Up until now I have done solo backcountry archery hunts. I have an exo first gen frame with 3500 and 5500 bags. Since it is a drop camp I dont really need either one of those and would rather carry a smaller pack daily (even though the 3500 cinches down pretty small ) but would like the option of packing meat at least to a trail for outfitter to get. Does anybody make a daypack which can handle any kind of weight?
