Eco K4 5000 for Day Hunts?

[Tradbeau]

Is an Exo K4 5000 overkill for day hunts? I’m usually a couple of miles in and back the same day. I’ve been packing out meat for years with a non-frame pack and think it’s time to upgrade.

I have both the 5000 and 2200 bags for my K4, I use the 2200 for day hunts. They do collapse down good but have a tendency to fill the space.

Thanks! I’ve been wondering if a smaller bag is the way to go for starting out.

Go 3600, don’t have to worry about having enough space for the days comforts, but big enough to pack in for 5-7 nights and make sure you don’t bring anything you don’t need. Use mine for day hunting and week long backcountry hunts.

The k4 is designed to pack meat between the bag and frame. No reason for a big bag for day hunting. I wouldn’t get the 5000 for day hunting.
